Ssometime in the past, someone spilled either a cup of very strong coffee over it, or maybe red wine. From the beginning to the end, climaxing in the middle, the page is stained by a fawn coloured splotch. Surprisingly it is no irritating, though it does leave the pages 2 toned. The stain also appears on both covers, which are rubbed at the edges. In its favour, the binding is solid.Scan available on request.
