Retail version of Publisher 98. Comes with original jewel case, 10 page CD manual, and 2 CDs in very nice shape. For some reason the CD key sticker has been removed from the back BUT the key is also written inside on the liner notes. I did a test install of this when I got it to make sure it was the correct key (it is) and then I erased Publisher.
