Item Descriptions

We use the following standard terms to describe the general condition of the book; any major faults (inscriptions, tears, missing pages marks etc) are noted separately.

FINE (F) - Our top rating. The item is in excellent as new condition. A FINE slipcase or dust wrapper is as new; any faults such as marks or bumps will be mentioned but will be very minor - in these cases we use the term NEAR FINE.

VERY GOOD (VG) - The item is not in FINE condition, but there are no major faults. A VERY GOOD slipcase or dust wrapper is clean with maybe some marks, but no tears or pieces missing unless noted otherwise.

GOOD (G) - The item is obviously secondhand, but complete unless noted otherwise. A GOOD slipcase or dustwrapper may be marked, scuffed, torn or creased and with general signs of wear.

POOR (P) - The item is in bad condition. It may be warped from poor storage, have pages missing or scribbled on and the spine may be broken. The item may have many other major faults. A POOR slipcase or dustwrapper may have heavy marking, tears, missing pieces and general heavy wear.
