Libro que se ha leído y que no tiene un aspecto nuevo, pero que está en un estado excelente. No hay desperfectos visibles en la tapa y se incluye sobrecubierta, si procede, para las tapas duras. Todas las páginas están en perfecto estado, sin arrugas ni roturas y no falta ninguna. El texto no está subrayado ni resaltado de forma alguna, y no hay anotaciones en los márgenes. Puede presentar marcas de identificación mínimas en la contraportada o las guardas. Muy poco usado.
