Bumped, Bruised, and (Lightly) Battered
. . . or Scratched and Scuffed, or Dinged and Dented. However you want to say it, we’re talking about books that are just a little less than perfect. Relatively minor damage that’s just enough so we can’t sell them as “new,” but they are complete books, without any missing or loose pages.
In other words, ideal reading copies! Don’t get us wrong, we love all our books equally and unconditionally but sometimes we need to offer an incentive for them to find their new forever home. This picture shows you the kind of damage you could expect to see:

Not every book has damage on the spine, but that is the most common problem.

Here are the editions we currently have available at 40% off cover price because of a little imperfection:
