And given the fact it is bound in the US, that means the spine will crack with heavy use.(mine all have) Japanese 10 year old dictionaries might last, but US bindings are cheap and break.
All the copies I have used have suffered from the same defect, in that the spine was glued to the fold (and they are old stock and have suffered decay with time).
Still worth it, but it's most definitely not 'new'. Maybe unused, but not new.
