Books, Framed Items, and Magazine Conditions:

-
Very Good (VG) – Shows signs of use, but is still a very nice copy.
-
Good (G) – A good condition book should have all pages present and a fully intact cover. It can show significant wear, including wear to the dust jacket, boards, or text block.
-
Fair – Noticeable wear, with the potential for non-essential pages to be missing or damaged. All other pages and illustrations should be present.
