CONDITION GRADING:

NEW    A brand-new, first-quality copy (in original shrink-wrap and/or dust jacket, if applicable).

USED – LIKE NEW    A clean, crisp copy with no significant signs of use. Out of original shrink-wrap (if applicable), and may have very minor scuffing on cover, dust jacket or spine, but otherwise indistinguishable from New.

USED – EXCELLENT   As above, but with slightly more apparent signs of use.

USED – VERY GOOD    A clean and tight copy overall, but with obvious signs of use. May have some scattered markings and dog-ears, light shelf wear and/or edge bumps, minor chipping or wear on dust jackets (if applicable), or other cosmetic defects that will not affect use or durability. No library markings, highlighting or heavy annotations, or creasing or sun-fade on spines, unless otherwise noted.

USED – ACCEPTABLE   A heavily used but still serviceable copy with cover and all pages intact (including dust jacket, if applicable). Bindings are still sound but may be somewhat loose. Defects can include shelf-wear, creasing and sun-fade on spines, edge bumps, worn covers and spines, library or other stampings, highlighting or annotations on pages, and light spotting or soiling.
