<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ruth, post: 232770, member: 4568&quot;]Hi all,</p><p>I was wondering, when posting items for sale, if the correct term for flaws is &#039;damage&#039; or &#039;defect&#039;. On the one hand, I found extensive use of the word &#039;defect&#039; both in the ABC for Book Collectors and sotheby&#039;s, and they can hardly be wrong. On the other hand, to me it sounds as if &#039;defect&#039; is something that can only occur during production (printing or binding, for example) and &#039;damage&#039; is anything that happens afterwards.</p><p>Any input would be much appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
