I read it only once and then stored it on a bookshelf. The pages inside are in good condition, and I believe the puzzle has never been taken out. However, - There is some damage to the corner of the back cover. - There is a small heart written on the back cover. (Please check the photos) Other than the above, there are no noticeable stains or damage, and I think it is an item in good overall condition. How about it as a picture book for a first Christmas? For those who understand that this is a used item, thank you.
