At the top of the first end page, it appears that a name has been marked through with black marker, but No other writing or markings in the book. The first three pages have a small tear in the upper right hand corner due to a printing error, as there is a small extra bit of paper in this location- this is a very minor issue. Outside cloth covers are very nice.
