MY
GRADING SYSTEM |
|
I try to
be fair and honest in my grading, and make every attempt to mention loose
pages, stains, binding damage, etc. Please understand that the glue used in
the binding of old paperbacks was not designed for longevity; when old
paperbacks are opened for reading, additional pages may loosen at that time. |
|
FINE: in exceptional condition; not perfect, but very high grade. |
|
VERY
GOOD+: still nice, but showing its age; some overall
wear. |
|
VERY
GOOD: the average used paperback; not heavily read, but
shows an accumulation of wear and creases.
Fore edge, top and bottom may have light spotting. Spine may also be creased from reading. |
|
GOOD: a complete copy, but well-read with worn edges and a greater
accumulation of creases and other wear. |
