Grading Standards:

• Very Fine - Book in mint or near mint condition. No flaws in either the book or the dust jacket. May have been read.
  
• Fine - Book clearly read, but still without major flaws. May have some slight rubbing to the DJ. The book itself is without flaws.
  
• VG+ or VG to Fine - Book may have a few minor flaws, enough that it can't be rated fine. These might include more significant rubbing or perhaps a few tiny to the DJ. The book itself is generally without significant flaws, though there may be some neat interior writing. The binding is whole, but the pages may be showing some age spots.
  
• VG - More wear and tear showing up. The DJ may have noticable rubbing or significant yellowing. It also may have more significant tearing. The binding of the book is solid and all pages are intact, however, their may be noticable age spotting, perhaps a little soiling or water marking of the pages. Overall, a good clean copy.
  
• Good - Although the book is intact, there may be slight damage to the binding. In most cases, it is the DJ that has suffered the most, with noticable tears, significant rubbing and widespread yellowing. A reading copy, but not much more.
