I received a book this week that has a couple of oily-looking stains on the covers.  (and oddly enough, written inside the cover is "2" stain to front cover" LOL!)

Are stains on the outside postable?  The insides look fairly clean.

I thought the rules said no Stains. Which would mean anywhere on the book.   So yes I figure it's an RWAP.

No stains means none - anywhere. RWAP.

I wonder if they got it as a freebie/damaged book and the person who sent it was attempting to stop it from being swapped by writing on it about the damage.

From the Help documents:

Overall Condition:

• No damage at all from water or other liquid
• Not soiled
• No stains (exception for cookbooks--see below)
• No mold
• no highlighting, underlining or writing on text pages (exception for Textbooks/Workbooks and travel guidebooks --see below)

Thank you!
