I am really sorry for the inconvenience but, I can not post an actual photo of the book because I do not own a camera at the time. The book I own cover looks just like the one pictured above and has no obvious signs of wear. The back cover has a very tiny triangle fold at the facing outer corner(literally less than a cm) and has been taped. All pages are clean with no rips and are bound tightly together. It comes from a smoke free home and smells like a book should smell. I have read this book previously and highly recommend it because it is beautifully written and depicts a very important yet saddening part of Asian history. I hope I answered your questions, if you have any more concerns feel free to ask. Thank you! :^)
