This paperback book "Our Bodies, Ourselves" is preowned and is in good condition. It is a 2nd edition revised and expanded 1976. There is a black mark on the outside of the pages on the side of the book. Behind the front cover is some discoloring and a spot. The pages are yellowing from age. I do not see any markings in the book but I did not look at each page.
