JUDAS PRIEST MERCENARIES OF METAL TOUR 1988 CONCERT PROGRAM
32 PAGES - 10.5" wide X 14" high
EXCELLENT Condition
Fine (F or FN)
A perfect looking book, without being quite as sharp as an As New book. The book will be very tight, and feel nice in the hand. There maybe the most minimal evidence of shelf wear.  A book of the highest collectible quality.
Paperbacks - are graded Fine if they are as fresh as they can be, maybe the lightest evidence of previous reading.
Near Fine (NRF or NF)
There may be a light mark on the text block edge, or for older near fine copies very light tanning.  There may be a neat bookseller's pencil price on the front free end-paper. The boards will be very clean and sharp with no signs of wear. Dust jackets may have light shelf wear that may have taken the edge off the gloss. There may be a very light creasing to the bottom or top jacket edge or spine ends where it has been on or off the shelf.  If the book is price clipped or inscribed by a previous owner this will be noted. Any defects are generally minor and do not detract from its very bright appearance. You can be assured that a Near Fine book is great one for your collection.
Paperbacks - may have a lightly bumped corner or very slight edge wear, there may be a single very light reading crease on the spine.  The cover will be nice and sharp.
Very Good (VG)
Describes a book that has been read and shows the beginning of wear, the book itself will be reasonably tight, and may have a turned page or two.  There could be some marking to the text block edge, or a remainder mark. The boards will be in good condition, but may have some bumped corners or a small amount rubbing. There could be some minor foxing, or moderate tanning. There may be very small closed tears to the jacket edge, some shelf wear to the edges or more noticeable loss of gloss to the jacket finish, there could be a few chips or tiny loss to the spine. There may be some evidence of minor sunning to the jacket spine. Our grading of very good is applied to those books that are still in very nice condition for a collector, but have a defect or two too many to be classed as Near Fine.
Paperbacks - will be in average read condition, may have gently bumped corners, moderate reading creases to the spine, or minor creasing to the covers. The text block could be moderately tanned. The book will still be in good collectible reading condition.
Good (G)
Describes the usual used worn book that has all pages or leaves present. The book may have some slight lean, spine ends may be worn. The boards could be marked or lightly stained, and there may be writing or inscriptions on the free end papers. The pages may be creased, and have sustained some noticeable spotting. The book may also be less tight than a better copy.  The jacket may have some loss, marks, or some more substantial tears. One for reading perhaps rather than collecting.
Paperbacks - a very average paperback with some life left in it. Generous creasing to cover and spine would normally be present.
Fair
A well worn book in all respects not falling apart but one that has seen better days. It has been read, and has a complete text pages but may lack end-papers, half title page etc. Heavy foxing and tanning could also be present. Binding, jacket (if any) may also be heavily worn with loss. All defects will be noted in the book description.
Paperbacks - Heavily read book still complete but quite loose, perhaps a small tear to the cover, and likely to be very creased.
