It means that the book is in the state that it should have been in when it left the publisher. This is the equivalent of Mint condition in numismatics. 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) describes the condition of an average used worn book that is complete. 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. If the damage renders the text illegible then the book is not even poor. Ex-library copies must always be designated as such no matter what the condition of the book. Book Club copies must always be designated as such no matter what the condition of the book. Binding Copy describes a book in which the pages or leaves are perfect, but the binding is very bad, loose, off or non-existent.
