MY BOOK CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM TO HELP YOU WHEN MAKING AN INFORMED DECISION FOR ALL 2ND HAND BOOKS BEING SOLD ON VINTAGE GEMS.

• AS NEW - This pretty much covers it: the book looks new, and its probably never been read (or even opened, regardless of the fact it was published a while ago), so there are no signs of wear at all. It doesnt open easily and prefers to stay in a closed condition.

• FINE - Fine is the next condition following As New, which describes the books that may have been opened or read but quite carefully so that there's no trace left. Theres no defect or damage detectable, with both the jacket and the pages being in great condition

• VERY GOOD - Books with small signs of wear but no tears on either binding or pages are usually conditioned as Very Good. This condition allows slight flaws such as fading or staining but not too much

• GOOD - Lets proceed to books described as Good. This term covers any average used book that has been fairly worn but still has all pages present and a relatively good jacket.

• FAIR - When you see a book rated as Fair, be prepared to get a worn book that has been read and opened a lot. It has all the text pages but may lack some other pages, such as endpapers, etc. Its probably slightly damaged, with both the binding and dust jacket bearing signs of wear. 

• POOR - The book listed as Poor bears signs of heavy wear and may have missing pages and other flaws such as spots, stains, loose joints, creases on pages, 

• EX -LIBRARY - The book listed as Poor bears signs of heavy wear and may have missing pages and other flaws such as spots, stains, loose joints, creases on pages,
