I purchased this about two years ago. My children didn't seem to like it, and they only read it a few times. I'm selling it because they probably won't read it again. There are no particular stains. There is no cover. ◉ If you would like to purchase multiple items, please use the "Request to buy in bulk" option. ◉ I cannot respond to price reduction requests in the comments.
