There is a light colored stain on top of pages. Looks like dust. The bottom has a darker one that is bigger. Not sure what that is from. Looking on the outside of pages, on top and bottom, there is tiny spaces between some pages. I do not know what to call that. The actual reading pages look great. Refer to pictures.
