The returned atlas
At lunchtime, I helped the librarian sort books that had been pushed through the returns slot. An atlas was wedged beneath a pile of paperbacks. Its blue cover was scratched, but every map inside was clean and easy to read. The librarian placed it on the repair shelf before scanning the next book.
Select one word from the passage which shows that the atlas cover has been damaged.
