This book has been stored since purchase, so the inside is clean. There are some marks that appear to have been caused by pressure during storage. Please check the images. The beige area on the upper right of the cover looks like it may have been that color from the beginning, but it's unclear (it's not a sticker or residue from removing one, nor is it a painted-on area, and the texture is the same as the pink surface, so it doesn't seem to be a stain). However, I will list it as having some minor scratches and stains. #Also, I'm selling other books for hairdressers.
