Although this book has no dust cover, the book boards are in very good condition.  There are no marks, rips, tears, creasing or missing pages in this book.  The bottom edge of the pages appear to be stained from a liquid (please refer to photo); however, it is not dark and hardly noticeable, again, please see pics.
