As New: The book is in pristine, original condition as when published. This grade may apply to older books that have been carefully stored, never shelved, thumbed, or opened.
Fine (F): A Fine book is nearly As New in condition but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but shows no defects to the book, jacket, or pages.
Near Fine (FN): A book approaching Fine (or As New) but with a couple of very minor defects or faults.
Very Good (VG): A book showing small signs of wear but no tears on either binding or paper. The book maintains its structural integrity, and any defects must be noted by the seller.
Good (G): Describes a book with average wear while maintaining complete text pages. The book is intact and readable, but shows signs of use.
Fair: A worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. The binding and jacket (if any) may show significant wear.
Poor (Reading Copy): A heavily worn book whose primary value is its complete, legible text. May have loose joints, hinges, or pages, and may be soiled, scuffed, stained, or spotted. May have missing maps.
**Note. Whilst attempting to list all the defects, some minor defects might not have been listed. This could be due to the defects not being picked up during the advertising process etc.
