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.
