I purchased this through a school recommendation, but I only checked things on my smartphone and never actually used the dictionary. It's been in its case on the bookshelf for 3 years. The condition is different from what you'd see in a bookstore. In addition to Japanese-English, I am also selling an English-Japanese dictionary separately. Is anyone looking for one? Please be sure to check the photos before purchasing. There is a black line in the box, but it may have been there from the printing process. Shipping will be via Click Post or Yu-Packet Post, so there are limitations on the thickness of the packaging. I think cardboard will protect the corners better than bubble wrap, so I will sandwich the book between slightly larger pieces of cardboard and ship it via post. I will not use bubble wrap (as it won't fit in the post). If you prefer a different shipping method, it is possible if you cover the shipping costs, so please inquire in the comments before purchasing. I've listed it as "Like New," and it is actually unused, but it has been stored at home, so I hope you understand that there may be minor scratches on the cover. I look forward to your purchase.
