This review is from: Strange Crimes and Criminals (Paperback)
The description on the book was normal wear and tear and that's exactly what it was. It was an old library book so it had all kinds of stamps in it but that didn't bother me. All the pages were intact and there are no smudges over the words or anything. All in all, I got exactly what I paid for. :)
