  Grading and Caring for Big Little Books
The book may have: loose pages; a somewhat soiled or faded cover; worn corners and edges (frayed); minor tears (up to 2") at spine corners (minor tape repairs are acceptable if done carefully); pages that show usage; minimal markings that are heavy or permanent; minor defects in printing, binding, or cutting; some bending or warping.
Books, even favorite books, are often damaged by careless storing or handling and by the thoughtless ways by which they are displayed.
Storage of books on shelves near the ceiling is unwise since the temperature near the ceiling may be many degrees warmer than the rest of the room.
