Vol. 6, Fruits Basket Collector's Edition

Ok this book has everything the ultimate edition should have: the drawings are the same, the story is all there, and the extra interviews or the extra info that they were to add are ALL THERE.... BUT it does not have the cool colorful pictures in the beginning :(
I thought for a moment that I didn't get an original copy, which I am still not sure, but everything is there so I trust that I'm getting a good deal here. The shipping is fast though so if you are addicted to Fruits Basket (like me)you can order them here and get them FaSt!!

the story & everything it self is great, i Love Fruits Basket! BUT this particular book,was sold to me by someone who took this book out of a Library of all places! . . . The stamps were still in the book!

I was very skeptical for buying from other sellers instead of name brand sellers (such as the store, Hot Topic, Samsung, Tokyopop, etc) but I decided to try and fulfill my "dream" of owning the manga series that started it all. This manga started my obsession with anime, and it is one I will go to again and again! They are remaking this series into a "Collector's Edition" series, which has since been RETRANSLATED (which is a total change for me. Don't like the new translation AT. ALL.) So since they are no longer selling these, I had no real choice but to buy from others. And to my surprise, this listing said it was slightly used, but like new. THIS BOOK IS BRAND SPANKIN' NEW. I KNOW the smell of a new manga, and this book HAD IT. It even came with the free sample booklet of three other manga series (Maid-Sama!, Gakuen ALICE, & NG LIFE, with a surprise Princess Ai: The Prism of Midnight Dawn). VERY SATISFIED. Worth the $15!!!
