MY GRADING SYSTEM FOR PAPERBACKS
I try to be fair and honest in my grading, and make every attempt to mention significant defects.
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 book, etc.; not too heavily worn, but shows an accumulation of wear, creases, etc..
GOOD: complete, but well-used with worn edges and a greater accumulation of creases and other wear.
