Bookish Runes
At the bottom of our listings, you’ll spot a little code that tell you the condition of the book (because transparency is sexy):
✦ BN = Brand New ✦LN = Like New, read once ✦GC = Good Condition, not as crispy ✦UC = Used Condition, might have cracked spine, light foxing, or other cosmetic quirks that don’t affect the readability.
