This item has been stored for a long time. Due to its age, there may be yellowing, torn covers, wrinkles, etc. Some people may find the smell of old books or dustiness noticeable. I flipped through it four times to check, and I didn't find any stains, dirt, or tears that would make it unreadable. (I haven't checked every single page.) There is a stamp on the back cover. I will ship it as is, without covering it up. Please understand that this is an old, used book. Thank you for looking.
