The first copy of the YiJing I bought, currently has a cover taped together, with a transparent plastic sleeve stuck on it, with a thick protective plastic cover over it and rubber bands keeping everything together. It isn't the same as the same publisher, printing, and edition pristine replacement I purchased several years ago.
