What sort of physical condition should the books be in?
• No tears to the cover, or pages. • Corners of covers should not be bent, dented or frayed • Minimal wear to the binding – pages should be firmly attached to the binding — bindings cannot be broken • No writing on the sides of the book — for example a name written on the edge of the book • A small amount of writing, underlining or highlighting of pages is usually okay, as long as it is on fewer than 20% of the book’s pages. However, workbooks and study guides must be clean and unwritten in (no answers filled in already) • No missing pages • Absolutely no water or moisture damage – crinkled pages, stains, rings • No fire or smoke damage • No strong odor of any kind (including musty odor, cigar or cigarette odor) • If a textbook originally came with a CD-Rom, the original CD-Rom must accompany the book when shipped to us. The CD must be in working condition • No advance reading copies, uncorrected proofs, and/or promotional or screener copies of books • No books that state not for res
For us to accept a book it must: • Be in good condition or better • Not be a teacher’s, instructor’s, or international edition Good condition means: • Very little highlighting/underlining/writing • No damage from water/liquids, smoke or mold • No missing or significantly torn pages or covers • No odor • Or any other significant damage Exactly as you would hope to find a book that you bought in good condition.
