As New is self-explanatory. It means that the book is in the state that it should have been in when it left the publisher. The is the equivalent of Mint condition. Fine (F or FN) is As New but allowing for the normal effects of time on an unused book that has been protected. A fine book shows no damage. Very Good (VG) describes a book that is worn but untorn. For many collectors this is the minimum acceptable condition for all but the rarest items. Good (G) A book that is not very good. It is used to describe the condition of an average used worn book that is complete. In excellent readable condition with all pages intact and illustrations in perfect condition, perfect binding. Fair shows wear and tear but all the text pages and illustrations or maps are present. It may lack endpapers, half-title, and even the title page. Poor describes a book that has the complete text but is so damaged that it is only of interest to a buyer who seeks a reading copy. If the damage renders the text illegible, then the book is not even poor. Ex-library copies will show institutional markings, well used/read book with other defects due to multiple usage. Binding Copy describes a book in which the pages or leaves are perfect, but the binding is very bad, loose, off or non-existent.
