Grade

Description

Fair (FR)

1.0/10. Creases, tears, ripes, folds, color breaks, soiling/staining, heavy spine damage, perhaps water damage and staining. Cover still technically attached. The lowest quality that you could fully read.

Good (GD)

2.0/10. Well worn, with an unfavourable cover, but superior to a Fair grade. Spine may have damage, but the book overall still has integrity.

Very Good (VG)

4.0/10. Obviously read, but cared for. Some creases and bends with some color break, only minor soiling/staining. Book still has some firmness and reflectivity.

Fine (FN)

6.0/10. Well taken care of. Book has been read so the spine has creases, and there's minor wear on the cover. No soiling/staining/tears tolerated. Only minor blunting on spine corners, edge wear, and minor spine scuffing tolerated.

Very Fine (VF)

8.0/10. Book has been read, but is undamaged. Only slight signs of wear detected upon close inspection tolerated. 

Mint (MN)

9.0/10. Appears unread. Book should only have minor imperfections caused by production and/or handling at point of sale. 

Gem (Gem)

10/10. A perfect book.


Note: This is not a formal grading system. It is roughly based on the Overstreet grading guide for comic books. A plus (+) or minus (-) may also be used in grading to indicate a single step move upwards or downwards from the stated grade. For example, an FN- tends towards a VG, while a VG+ tends towards a FN. Finally, a combined grade, such as VG/FN, means the grade is midway between those grades. So an FN- grades better than a VG/FN, but a VG/FN grades better than a VG+.
