AT SAGS BOOKS & MORE WE DO THE BEST WE CAN IN FOLLOWING A UNIVERSAL GUIDELINE FOR RATING USED BOOKS. WE ARE SOMETIMES MORE CRITICAL OF A USED BOOK AND RATE THEM LOWER THAN THIS SCALE.
99% OF SAGS BOOKS RATE A G-VG OR BETTER
GUIDE TO USED BOOK DESCRIPTIONS'F/VG' ( fine book in very good jacket).
Very Fine (VF) - As new with no defects, crisp, tight binding, absolutely no flaws under close examination.
Near Fine (NF) - No defects, little usage, and markings are minimal. A minor flaw may be present.
Very Good (VG) - It shows some signs of wear and is no longer fresh. Attractive, but not unusually so. Does not lie flat when open.
Good (G) - The average used book with all pages present. Books with loose bindings, highlighting, cocked spine, torn dust jackets, can fall into this category. Wrinkled or folded pages.
Fair (FR) - Obviously well-worn and handled but no text pages are missing, however, it may be without endpapers or a title page. There might be markings, but they do not interfere with readability.
Poor (P) - All text is legible but may be soiled and have binding defects. Reading copies and binding copies fall into this category.
