Ink and Scales tries to provide customers books that are in the best condition. Many of our used books have been donated by other Book Dragons have been kept in the best condition and only have nicks due to shipping from the original seller.
New - We define a new book as books that have been donated but never opened or read. As a result, the binding is still tight and there are no bends or cracks in the spine of the book. The books also do not lay flat and does not remain open. Pages have no marking or dog eared ends. There may be small nicks or dents due to shipping.
Used - We define a used book as books that have bindings that are lose, allowing the book to lay flat and remain open to any page in the book.
