The VERY GOOD and GOOD categories may be modified with a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to signify that the book(s) being described falls a little bit above or below the usual book with that grading. Although we may not mention every spine crease or scratch, we make every effort to make note of all significant defects, including bookplates, writing or markings, and strong odors. We try to describe each book we list as completely as possible. Book Grading Guidelines Ex-library books, Book Club editions, and remaindered books will always be identified as such.
