Otherwise, it is in pretty good condition with some dirt smudges on the side edges of the pages, mostly visible from the side view. No torn or ripped pages. There is clear contact paper on the cover for protection. There is one page that has some black and white sketches of grooms; it appears as if two of them have been colored in with crayons. |
