Notes on Condition/Edition ratings: Fine ? means like new, but any book produced over 10 years ago isn't "brand new" or even "new." Using the same term as coin collectors, "can't guarantee it is uncirculated, but it looks very much like it could be." Booksellers need similar word to describe this. Like New ? A new book, no marks no damage (except maybe remainder marks or shelf-wear) except not obtained directly from the publisher or in packaging from the publisher. Same sort of thing about grading as Fine above except generally used for newer publication dates for titles still in print. Good ? How someone else might take care of a book. Also referred to as "standard." This is the most likely condition for books of this age & title, shows the book has been read or previously owned. Acceptable ? How a young child, student or a librarian might take care of a book. (Either trying to make sure someone doesn't steal it by plastering ownership everywhere, filled it with copious notes or a book that has been damaged.) Poor ? Combination of "acceptable" factors above. Most likely with water damage as well. Might have missing pages (you should ask). Usually requires repair to be usable. Near ? Means "almost" in an optimistic sense. e.g., "Near Fine" means very good, but on the high end. 1st Thus ? Unique somehow, maybe 1st paperback, new illustrator, misprint or even the 1st edition. A collector might desire this copy for their collection. Thanks for looking!. Prior Owner Name No Value.
