CONDITION TERMS
Very Fine (VF) is a virtually flawless copy, new or like-new and probably never read.
Fine (F) is a copy with no large defects, but is not as pristine as a very fine copy. It may have been read, but with care. Possible minor flaws include a bumped corner, a slightly sunned spine, rubbing, slight soiling, or a very tiny tear.
Very Good (VG) is a copy with two or more small defects. It may be rubbed, have a small tear, a dinged corner, or other minor defect.
Good (G) is a copy with some obvious large defects and/or several small defects. There may be a larger tear in the dustjacket, a large gift inscription, be very sunned, have a creased spine, or have other defects. Many ex-library books fall into this category. Makes a good reading copy.
Fair (F) indicates a copy with very serious defects. It may actually have some loose pages, underlining or highlighting, or be very soiled.
