• Single-Owner History: Single owner.
• Storage Environment: Kept in a clean, smoke-free, climate-controlled home.

Condition Profile: Covers & Spines

• Spine & Binding: The spine remains in good, structurally sound condition with a tight, uncracked binding.
• Covers & Corners: Features a protective clear vinyl book jacket that has kept the main cover entirely free of surface handling wear. There is a slight bit of mechanical warping on the flexible front and back cardstock covers at the lower right and left corners respectively. This minor curling is a common publishing artifact caused purely by the tightness and tautness of the vinyl wrap over time.
• Defect Check: Complete absence of marks, stamps, retail price stickers, grease pencils, or sticky adhesive residue.

Condition Profile: Pages & Edges

• Interior Pages: Exceptionally clean, crisp, and bright. The heavy paper stock has not yellowed or age-toned over the last 30+ years, preserving Taniguchi’s highly detailed, fine-line ink work perfectly.
• Page Integrity: All pages are fully present and complete. No missing pages, no interior tears, no ink markings, and zero dog-eared corners.
