looks pretty great but you make that call. there is a couple of dog-eared pages and the cover has some normal foxing for a poly cover but nothing crazy. Did not check through the whole book for highlighter or pencil marks. sold as is in that manner, but I think it looks great. Right now the ships with media mail but if you need it something different just tell me and I’ll switch it and you can pay for it but just know that Media Mail is the cheapest and I don’t control shipping costs
