This item is new and unused. After purchasing it new, I have carefully stored it at home. The condition is, in my opinion, very good. It is currently out of print, so it has very little market circulation, and I believe it is a rare pictorial book that will be quite difficult to obtain in this condition in the future. This is the world's first full-scale, large pictorial book, illustrating 690 species, which is 97% of the world's Carabus (in the broad sense of the genus Carabus), in color. It can truly be called a masterpiece. Most of the species of Carabus from mainland China, which is the root of Japanese Carabus, are also gathered together in color for the first time. It comes in a box and is a hardcover book. - Title: The Carabus of the World - Authors: Yuki Imura, Kiyoyuki Mizusawa - English Title: The Carabus of the World - Series: Monthly Mushi Insect Pictorial Book Series 2 - Publisher: Mushi-sha Please purchase only if you understand that it has been stored at home. Thank you for looking.
