Poor  –  A worn copy that feels flat and well-thumbed. It will have more severe defects as noted from the categories above. It will possibly have suffered from being stored in damp conditions, making the staples rusty with pages coming loose. It may have damage or markings to some of the pages and the cover. Notes will nearly always be attached to this grading.

Notes - Complete and unmarked but quite battered the cover is very well worn.
