Wear refers to varying amounts of rubbing wear (including faint scratches). Creases refers to bends in the material that leave visible wrinkles or break the surface of a colored area to reveal white beneath. Rounding refers to the bumping, bending, and wear of corners that rounds or deforms them. Fraying refers to the roughing up that occurs at edges, corners, and along spine areas of books. Dirtiness refers to color having rubbed off of other product, various specks, spots, stains, and or yellowing from handling (like yellowed areas at the edge of book pages from thumbing through them). Bumping refers to various nicks, scuffs, dents, score marks, and impressions. Yellowing refers to the discoloration of materials due to age.
Any exceptional damage or degradation that goes beyond normal wear (deep cuts, larger scuffs, larger or darker stains, heavier areas of writing impressions or score marks, writing, highlighting, stickers, sticker residue, laminating, severe creases, splitting, etc.), printing errors, or missing parts are detailed separately.
Tiny indicates less than 1/8 inch, small indicates less than 1/4 inch, medium, less than 1 inch, and large, greater than 1 inch. Scoring refers to an impression left by a hard point, scratches and cuts actually break the surface, and scuffs peel the surface material off or push it aside. Shrink-wrap and its condition are indicated separately and do not affect grade. Hardcover books are graded using the above table but creases typically don't apply.
