Dirty lil’ book?

I have borrowed this book from the library often enough I decided I needed my own copy. I selected a “Good” copy— good is usually good enough for me— but when it arrived I was a little dismayed at how dirty the book is. Literally. I took a damp paper towel and scrubbed away as much of the grime (yes, grime) as I could and lo, the negative space on the cover isn’t yellow/brown… it’s white. All the stars because I wouldn’t want anyone to think the book isn’t good, but I didn’t expect to need gloves to handle a used book.
