From the description of Atticus' office, we can infer that his tastes are simple and based upon efficiency rather than appearance. The "unsullied" book defines its condition as unread.

Atticus’s office in the courthouse contained little more than a hat rack, a spittoon, a checkerboard and an unsullied Code of Alabama.
