sobados


Explanation:
dog-eared literally means con las esquinas dobladas, de tanto uso. Creo que la mejor traducción es sobado.

guías de viaje arrugadas


Explanation:
Hola Juan,

La traducción literal es "guías de viaje arrugadas" pero coloquialmente no se habla de guías arrugadas sinó gastadas, viejas, usadas... o dándole un poco más de énfasis a la cuestión del tiempo podrías decir arcaicas, prehistóricas, anticuadas...

Espero alguno de estos adjetivos te sirva.
Saludos,
