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 - Book has been quite damp at some point and feels a bit grubby. All complete and OK as a reference copy.
