Copy has NEVER been read. Very minimal border wear, only from sitting on my shelf. DISCLAIMER: There is a small sharpie dot on top border of book (5th picture). I did not buy the book in store; I ordered it off of a website, and I'm unsure if this is what the company does to mark their inventory? Regardless, even though the copy has never been read, the sharpie mark is why I'm not marking it as 'new'.
