Attention

This book is already difficult to find. It is a sample book that I found in the office of a friend from a publishing house, and cannot be considered a brand new book because there is a slight crease in the corners of the book that has been flipped over. But the appearance is still good.

Additionally, I saw on another world's largest shopping website with subtitles starting with "A" that the price of the same second-hand book was actually marked at $553.99, which is simply an exaggeration~~~
