Very Good(VG) - Your average handled and read copy. Might have noticeable wear on spine and edges and noticeable creasing on cover. Could have a one inch tear or less. A small piece of tape on or inside cover is allowed. Might have some light soiling or staining. Might have a slightly rolled spine

Good(G) - Similar in many ways to a VG, but with more severe or frequent defects. Could have a piece out of front or back cover

Fair(F) - Rough but complete copy. Might have lots of tape on cover, or tears, or pieces out of cover. Staining, soiling, lots of wear.
