CONDITION:  Near Fine to Fine

I have purchased brand new books made with this type of softcover that were in much worse condition than this book. For a book that is been sitting around somewhere for almost 25 years, possibly more this book is in remarkably good condition. I have found no soiled spots, no tears, no broken spine, no bent pages no significant creases to either cover.

 This book is new enough that it was necessary to use a fixed blade knife to hold the pages of open towards the beginning and the end of the book. The presence of the beautiful old Voss was needed to all pages open.

Grading Standards:

FINE:   No defects, as new when first purchased (Like New)

NEAR FINE:  May have 1 or 2 very minor defects. 

VERY GOOD:  Used condition, same as above only it may have two or three more minor defects such as small tears, scratches, small stains to covers, or minor tears and creases to inside pages.

GOOD:  As above only it may have a split hinge, larger tears to covers, soiling or staining of covers, whatever the defect it should be described in detail.

FAIR:   As above with folds and tears throughout, markings to content.

POOR:   As above with loose bindings, missing and torn pages throughout.

ADDITIONAL INFO:   I am a knife guy who also like books, but has very little experience selling them, just a few I have sold here on AAPK.  I’m not very knowledgeable about grading the condition of used books. I pulled this grading system off the web.
