Book Condition
Condition
of a book is usually in the form of VG/VG, Fine/Good, VG/--, etc. The
first part is the condition of the book, the second is the condition of
the dust jacket. If a "/--" is present, it usually means that the
dustjacket is not present.
New - A new book is unread, in print and in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages.
As New
- To be used only when the book is in the same immaculate condition to
which it was published. There can be no defects, no missing pages, no
library stamps, etc., and the dustjacket (if it was issued with one)
must be perfect, without any tears.
Fine (F)
- Approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. For the
use of the term Fine, there must also be no defects, etc., and if the
jacket has a small tear, or other defect, or looks worn, this should be
noted.
Very Good (VG) -
Describes a book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears
- on either binding or paper. Any defects must be noted.
Good (G) - Describes the average used worn book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects must be noted.
Fair
- Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or
plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. (which must be noted).
Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects must be
noted.
Poor - Describes a
book that is sufficiently worn, to the point that its only merit is as
a Reading Copy because it does have the complete text, which must be
legible. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy
may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints,
hinges, pages, etc.
