Gradings:

Very Good+ : almost like new, just a few issues to cover, usually unread pages

Very Good : pages show some mild reading wear, the cover will have some edge wear or a few other flaws

Very Good- : somewhere between Very Good and Good+ - a few issues short of being Very Good, like creases on cover, light discoloration or foxing - nothing too distracting.

Good+ : close to being Very Good with a few small but significant blemishes like curled corners, a few small pen marks, some slight moisture wrinkling, cover creases, spine creases … these are your reading/studying copies …

Good : cover damage, reading wear to pages, covers rubbed, corners curled, blemishes on cover or light water damage - but still good reading copies.

Poor/Acceptable : any of the above issues plus considerable reading wear and/or cover wear, underlining/highlighting - but still readable - spine creases, cover damage.
