All the books and magazines I sell are pre-owned so they will show some signs of use. Where possible I include multiple photos, to help you judge the condition.

FINE (F) This is a book or magazine which has been protected and carefully stored from new. It is unread, undamaged and unmarked.

NEAR FINE (NF) Nearly perfect. Just a hint of shelf or storage wear and only very lightly read.

VERY GOOD (VG) A book or magazine that has been used or read, but is still very presentable.There will be some signs of shelf wear such as light rubbing, small marks or light creases. There may also be some paper discolouration on older paperbacks or magazines and to dust wrappers. Magazines will often have a newsagent written address or name on the cover - please check the photos if this is an issue. 

GOOD (G) A book or magazine that is complete, but will it is likely to be well read. It will have obvious wear which may include minor damage or cracking to the spine, along with rips to a cover or dust wrapper, larger marks, staining or larger creases.
