This is a brand new, unused item. It will be carefully packaged with a triple layer of an OPP bag, bubble wrap, and a thick brown envelope. I recently purchased this new online. Naturally, there are no scratches or dirt. I will do my utmost to meet the expectations of those who "always want to read books in a clean, new condition," so please consider it. (I apologize, but I cannot offer discounts.) "How to Create a Training System and Skill Map That Won't Become Obsolete! Illustrated" Satoru Kobayashi, Hiroyuki Yamada, Kotaro Nozaki
