I couldn't find any tears or writing. There's a wrinkle like the one in the image on the last few pages. Other than that, I didn't notice anything else of concern. This book has no writing or tears. Please understand that this book has been stored and inspected at a private residence by an amateur, so please be aware that there may be oversights. I am also selling other picture books and children's books. Please take a look if you'd like.
