F - Fine. Almost normal perfect. No flaws of any kind. No, not even teeny ones.

NF - Near Fine. Some flaws here. Like the gloss on the dust jacket is a bit off.

VG - Very Good. Pretty nice. Might have one or two very small flaws. A bit of rubbing on the jacket. Light shelfwear maybe. But nothing that would actually qualify as a major defect.

G - Good. A nice solid copy. This is what you would normally expect in a secondhand book. Might have a few defects, but certainly nothing missing, no severe problems.

Fair - (no letter code here, ya gotta spell it out). Probably a pretty nasty looking copy. Likely has quite a few defects, tears, dampstains, weak binding etc. But it is complete.

Poor - Major defects, tears, dampstains, binding is warped...etc.

XLib - Ex Library copy. This just means that it has been in a library. Will have library markings. The condition should be described as well.
