Book Condition Guidelines

  • New: The item is entirely new, never used, and without any marks, in perfect condition.

  • Fine/Like New (F): The book might have been read, but it appears new with no flaws. There could be slight marks from handling.

  • Near Fine (NF): It's clean without any flaws, though there might be subtle wear at the book's edges or dust jacket.

  • Very Good (VG): Displays indications of use, potentially having minor imperfections such as a slightly damaged dust jacket, previous owner's writing, remainder marks, or minor instances of spotting or rubbing.

  • Good (G): An average pre-owned book with all pages intact. It could exhibit any of the above-mentioned flaws to a higher degree, which might include underlining, library imprints, or pages coming loose.

  • Fair (FR): Could be highly worn, stained, torn, or barely holding together.
