Please note that we are a high volume store and inventory changes frequently, so the item pictured is for example only and may not be the exact one sent. It is good to assume that all guides/magazines are in good to very good or better condition with minimal dings and dents unless something else is noted as an option, but we would not expect them to be in perfect condition as all guides are out on our retail store shelves and may get squished/dinged/dented a bit and will have a small price sticker on them. Please assume any extra papers, maps etc are NOT included but feel free to message and confirm with us as if they are available we will include them. If you would like to see the exact condition of the item you will be receiving please feel free to message us and we will send pictures within 1-2 business days. All guides and magazines are typically sent in a few layers of bubble wrap enclosed in a mailer.
