"Standin' on the corner/ Suitcase in my hand/Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest/ And me, I'm in a rock 'n' roll band...". The unmistakably laconic lines of the Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane" are from Lou Reed, who has assembled his Velvet and ample post-Velvet work in Pass Thru Fire: The Collected Lyrics. Songs from Reed albums including Transformer, New York and Magic and Loss are all here, facilitating analysis and singing-along alike, as with the particularly vexing "I'm sure you're certain it's a rarity me flirtin'" from Street Hassle Black and white photos, an introduction from Reed and a discography top things off.

Book Conditions Explained
Biblio’s Book Conditions
As New
The book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
Fine (F)
A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)
Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
Very Good (VG)
A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
Good (G or Gd.)
The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
Fair
It is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
Poor (P)
A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
