Thanks for looking at our listing. We sell our books in the great condition, we love reading but we don’t have enough space to keep them. The book pretty much look like a new book. There will be no stains or markings on the book, the cover is clean and crisp, the book will look unread, the only marks there may be are slight bumping marks to the edges of the book where it may have been on a shelf previously. These book are fine to give as gifts Regards J
