GRADING

We grade according to the standards of the American Book Association. Grading is an art form, not a science.  We grade conservatively, but if you have any disagreement with our grading, we have a 100% unconditional guarantee.  You may return any item you purchased from us, in the condition you received it, for a full refund. 

All books are graded as follows:

FAIR - Reading copy only.  The periodical is complete unless noted but shows heavy wear.  The cover may be partially detached.

GOOD - Complete copy showing a fair amount of wear including the cover and spine.  Pages may have some toning but no brittleness.

FINE - Collectible copy in pretty good condition.  It might have some small defects but otherwise in fairly nice shape.

VERY FINE - A nice copy.  No significant faults other than minimal edge wear.  A nice collectors copy.
