This is the first edition of One Piece Volume 1. It was published on December 29, 1997. The first edition of Volume 1 had a print run of only 300,000 copies, making it a rare and hard-to-find item today. Included is the Comic News. VOL.195 [Cover Condition] There are minor scratches, scuffs, and small folds; however, there are no noticeable stains, and the shading on the cover is modest, which I think is a good condition given its age. [Book Condition] I found no noticeable tears, writing, or significant damage such as missing pages. Other than that, there is some sun fading, scuffs, minor scratches, and slight stains on the background. There are faint crease marks on the back cover. Aside from these, the binding is solid, there is minimal yellowing of the pages, and overall, I believe it is in good condition for a first edition from that time. It's certainly ready for reading as well. Since this is a personal inspection, there may be some oversights. Please only consider this if you can accept this. This is subjective, and it is a very old comic made nearly 29 years ago, so there may be yellowing, stains, and creases present. If you are overly concerned about the condition or are sensitive, please refrain from purchasing. To prevent issues like product switching, we cannot accept returns, refunds, or cancellations. Please understand this beforehand and purchase accordingly. As this is a very rare item, it will be wrapped carefully and shipped anonymously with a new transparent book cover.
