DEFINITIONS “First” thus refers to the first printing of a new edition of a book. TPB refers to a trade paperback edition. Trade paperbacks are oversized paperback editions. PBO (Paperback Original) means this is a first edition/first printing paperback, which is also the first time this book was published (the true first edition of this book). ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) means this was a limited edition paperback (usually paperback) copy of a soon to be released hard back book.
BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, I'd like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell. Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine. I don't use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book. A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new. A full list of typical conditions ranges from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN
