Book conditions: PLEASE READ
I always include exact information about the condition of any book I sell. SEE BOLD for particulars OF THIS EXACT ITEM. I rank as follows:
MINT OR MINT-D: Book is exactly as received from publisher. MINT copies are flawless. MINT-D books have a publisher’s defect. In the case of Easton Press books, defects I have seen are 1) an ill-sewn corner or 2) a scratch or depression in the page gilding. These defects are rare, but if a MINT book I am selling has one, I always report it. However, I will not take responsibility for MINT-D defects and will not accept a return of a MINT-D book unless I am at fault in not reporting it in the book description.
LIKE NEW: Book is in perfect condition but may not be in "unread' condition (which is no recommendation to my mind - books are intended to be read), OR MAY HAVE SOME OTHER RELATIVELY INSIGNIFICANT FLAW.
FINE: Slipcase is in excellent condition but has EXTREMELY MINOR shelf-wear: a couple of light scratches - not noticable
VERY GOOD: Book has sustained some damage but can be displayed. Books with bookplates, even if otherwise LIKE NEW I rank as VERY GOOD.
READING: Book is a good reading copy, in excellent condition for its age. It may have several minor flaws: fading, shelf wear, scratches, bookplates, binding not mint-tight. I report these flaws accurately.
ETHICS: I NEVER KNOWINGLY UNDER OR OVER-STATE THE CONDITIONS OF ANY BOOK.
I avoid recirculating books with attached bookplates, but sometimes they are hidden in lot purchases.
I will always disclose the presence of a bookplate.
I store all books upright in a climate-controlled environment.
I strive for a 5-star rating on every item I sell.
I simply do not sell ANY Easton Press, Folio Society or other Collector’s edition that has a torn binding, odors, warping or water/grease/fire damage. |
