*A NOTE ABOUT USED BOOKS AND CONDITION VALUES:
I rate books and dust jackets on a scale from AS NEW to POOR, as follows:
AS NEW- Used when the book or dust jacket is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published, with no defects.
FINE- Approaches the condition of AS NEW, but lacking the crispness of a new book. These books or dust jackets should have no defects.
NEAR FINE- Approaching FINE but with slight flaws.
VERY GOOD- Describes a book or dust jacket that does show some small signs of wear or slight damage.
GOOD- Describes the average used worn book or jacket that has flaws and/or damages. (An old bookseller said it best, "In rare books, Good aint good".)
FAIR- Worn book or jacket that is stained, has loose pages, tears, or otherwise has some sort of significant damage or other issue.
POOR- Describes a book that is worn, damaged, stained or otherwise beat-up, making it useful as a reading copy but possibly not a collector copy. A POOR dust jacket is likely heavily torn, chipped or otherwise damaged.
(A + or a - can indicate a shading of these values...either a nudge up, or a nudge down.)
