There will be printings of the schools name on the side of the pages and/or the word "DISCARD" and on the front cover as well as a sticker which was used for organizing and a tag with old check out dates. Although this book has the front cover wrapped in plastic which has protected it from damage. All of which were kept to attempt to maintain its condition. Otherwise, the quality is as indicated
