Our deals use a simpler listing process to keep prices low. We check and grade each copy, without writing individual condition notes or taking photos.

Books in our Deals section are grouped into two condition grades:

Very Good: Copies range from those with minor wear or a few small defects to those in like-new condition. Minor defects may affect the book, the slipcase or both, but there are no significant defects overall.

Good: Copies range from Good to Fair condition, with visible defects to the book, the slipcase or both. Expect more noticeable wear or damage than in our Very Good copies, but still a good reading copy.

We take age into account when grading, particularly for books over 50 years old. Signs of ageing and general wear are compatible with Very Good condition; copies with more substantial defects are grouped under Good.

The photo above is a stock photo showing the edition and may feature another copy of the same book. It does not show the condition of the copy you will receive when buying a deal.

For Deals, the edition year shown in the book information above is not a confirmation of your copy’s printing year. It refers to when this Folio Society edition was first published. A particular printing year or first printing is not guaranteed for Deals.

Copies listed under From the Vault have their own photographs, detailed condition notes and printing information. Select the linked book title to see the details of that individual copy.
