Condition Continued: The covers are very solidly bound and show no looseness at all. I scrolled through the pages and found them to be exceptionally clean. There are also in excellent condition. I didn't see any conspicuous creasing or dogeared corners. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. The only page imperfection is not on the pages themselves but on the middle page edge where over the last 125-150  pages there is some spotting/staining of the edge. This seems fairly inconsequential, as the stains do not reach onto the actual pages.
