We attempt to provide a clear and honest grading of each book. The condition of a book is given in the form of VG/VG, FN/VG, VG/--, etc. The first part is the condition of the book; the second part is the condition of the dust jacket if one is present. If there is no dust jacket, "/--" will appear. Normally only hard cover books may have dust jackets, although not all hard covers do, particularly older books. Soft cover books usually do not have dust jackets. • NEW - The book is in the same immaculate condition as it was published. There are no defects. • FINE (FN) - Approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. The book has no defects. Any defect on the dust jacket is noted. • VERY GOOD (VG) - Describes a book that does show some small signs of wear. Any significant defect is noted. • GOOD (G) - Describes the average used worn book. Any significant defect is noted. • FAIR - Worn book that has complete text pages, but may lack endpapers, etc. Binding and jacket (if any) may also be worn. All significant defects are noted. • POOR - A heavily worn book that is good as a reading copy only. The text is complete. All significant defects are noted.
