Stored on a bookshelf, so the exterior has some yellowing and scratches, but the inside is generally clean. There are no tears or writing, and I think it should be fine for reading, but please consider that it is a used book. Thank you. - Wild Bird Tales - Birds of the Water's Edge in Keihanshin - - Kan Sakane, Author - Price: 1,500 yen - 1982, Hyogo Ornithological Institute
