Brand New
Never been read or used. May or may not be sealed. No signs of use, no markings, no wear. Exactly as you would find it in a bookstore.
Remaindered
A brand-new book marked by the publisher as unsold stock — usually with a small mark or line on the edges or cover. Still unread and in excellent condition, just sold at a reduced price.
Used — Like New
Looks nearly unread. Minimal to no shelf wear. Spine is tight with no creasing. Pages are clean with no markings or yellowing. A great find at a lower price.
Used — Very Good
Shows only light signs of use. May have minor shelf wear on the cover or edges, but pages are clean and free of writing. Spine is still firm. A solid, well-kept copy.
Used — Good
Clearly been read and loved. May have visible wear on the cover, a creased spine, or light annotations inside. Still complete and fully readable — a great everyday reading copy.
Used — Fair
Heavy wear throughout — may include a heavily creased spine, writing or highlighting inside, or worn covers. Complete and readable, but best for those who just want the content, not the condition.
