I stored this in a locker for about six months. I read it two or three times. I didn't find any major scratches, stains, or writing. I think you can use it without any problems, but there's a possibility I might have missed something. I had a small name sticker on the bottom right corner of the last page. It's very small, but there are traces and marks from removing it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item.
