Numerical book descriptions used to
describe the books sold on this website
- 1 - An absolutely clean book; in mint condition; book was received directly
from the publisher
- 2 - Clean book with no markings, folds, chips, stamps, but may show slight
wear
- 3 - Used book which shows slight wear or has one stamping, signature, or other
slight markings
- 4 - Used book has more wear, several stamps, marks, signatures, or some
underlining
- 5 - An x-library book which may contain library stamps, scars from removal
of card pockets, etc.
Most of the books we sell are new
and are uncirculated. A classification of - 5 - does not mean that this is a book
in poor condition. We do not stock books in poor quality or bad condition.
Books with tears, water damage, etc. are almost never stocked by this MS Book
and Mineral Company. Normal wear should be expected for used books.
If that wear is more than usual or the book has damage of some kind, it will be
noted. If the wear is excessive, I will not sell the book or list it. A book with the classification of - 4 - has a major
redeeming feature to find its way into this catalog. Some of our x-library books
appear to have never been checked out. This numbering system is designed to give
you a more complete, fast, but accurate, description of our books. |
