Like New: The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been kept in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed or even opened yet may still be some years old.
Excellent: The book may have been opened and read, but there are no defects to the book, jacket or pages.

Fair: A worn book that has complete text pages. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.
Poor: A copy of a book usually in poor to fair condition that includes all text presented in a legible fashion. The copy is fine to read but nothing more.
