Regarding book condition checks and ranking: *For ranks [S] to [C], ΙΧΘΥΣ Books' ranking is primarily based on the presence or absence of markings and writing. Inspection is done briefly. Other issues such as scratches, stains, yellowing, dog-ears, spine creases, stamps, stamp removal marks, signatures, and tears may be present. We will try to capture these in photos as much as possible, but there may be omissions. Please understand. The ranking evaluation may be incorrect due to our oversight or subjective judgment. Especially, the distinction between [S] and [A], and [B] and [C] can be difficult. We try our best to provide appropriate ranking, but there may be cases where you have doubts. In such cases, please inquire about the condition before purchasing. We will do our best to respond. Please note that we cannot respond after purchase. This is a used book listing, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for something in good condition or if you are very particular about condition. Thank you for your understanding.
