Review: Very nice book
Review: First it arrived with water damage, after I returned book and ordered another one it was much better but still visible that it was stored in some humid place or it got some extra humidity during shipping. Need better package. Book itsels is amazing, hard cover, good paper quality, very nice pictures. It was a present for a fan of everything Japanese, he liked it a lot. As present was already given, can not add photos.
