I HAVE NOT T ESTED THE TAPE TO BE SURE IT WORKS AS IT IS STILL IN THE FACTORY SEALED BOX. THE BOOK APPEARS TO BE IN PRESTINE CONDITION - NEVER OPENED AND READ - STILL FACTORY SEALED IN THE BOX. THE BOX HAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF SHELF WEAR TO THE EDGES AND CORNERS WITH MINOR STORAGE CREASES ON THE FRONT CARDBOARD.
