I purchased this book at a bookstore and both my mother and I have read it once, with a cover on. I don't think there's anything to report in terms of stains or damage. The obi (book band) is also in good condition. However, please note that I am a layperson and may have overlooked something during inspection. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections or if you are seeking a perfect copy. Thank you for your understanding.
