There are pencil markings on the inside, like in the photos, on 2-3 pages. I tried erasing them with an eraser, and they became faint. The cover has scratches, dents, stains, and dirt. The inside has no folds and, aside from the markings, I think it's clean. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to these issues.
