unthumbed
Pages still crisp
Unthumbed describes a book or pages that show no signs of handling—no worn edges, no smudges, no creases from being turned.
The word implies the book hasn't been read, or at least not carefully: The dictionary sat unthumbed on her shelf.
An unthumbed copy suggests neglect or newness, contrasting with a well-thumbed volume that's been pored over repeatedly.
