This book is almost as new, with no damage nor defects, except that it is not as crisp as a new book.  It may have been opened and read. 

VERY GOOD:

Has very small/minor signs of wear, any unusual defects are noted above 

GOOD: 

A typical, average used book.  Will have small/minor signs of wear, though no tears on either cover or pages.  Binding is sound.  Any defects are noted above.

Book has a lot of wear and tear, and may be soiled, scuffed, stained and may have loose joints, pages etc.   These will be pictured and defects noted.  

EX-LIBRARY / SCHOOL / BOOK-CLUB: 

This copy was owned by a library, a school or book club; and may have their stamps and markings, library issue plates etc.  

BINDING COPY: 

Individual pages are in perfect condition, but the binding is loose or off; or it may not have been bound in the first place.  None of the text, title pages, or other items, are missing, and these may be suitable for having your own personal binding done.

This copy is so badly damaged that it is suitable for reading only, and nothing more.  All of the text is present.   Note books that have text missing we normally discard, unless they have antique, historical or collectable value. Detailed notes are provided above in these cases.
