PIE BOOKS Beautiful Churches of the World Photo collection featuring 108 churches I purchased this new and read it once. There are no noticeable large folds, stains, tears, or writing. There is a feeling of use, such as scratches on the cover and damage to the corners and edges. There is no problem with reading it, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details or are looking for a pristine item. Water damage protection only
