[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 351158, member: 85"]Very poor condition. The brown is foxing and lowers any value. Also, it is an ex library edition. I see that you are interested in buying old books. If buying because you just want to read them, then condition doesn't really matter. However, if you are buying because you think they are an investment and you might want to sell them at a later date, then it might help to understand what makes a book more valuable than another. This is from Wiki [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_used_book_conditions[/URL] Also there is a great forum that you could read and maybe pick up pointers. It was started by people from the old ebay forums. [URL]http://www.bookthink.com/[/URL][/QUOTE]
