boards : Common term for the covers of a hardbound book.
dust jacket : A protective and often decorative wrapper, usually made of paper which wraps around the binding of a book.
tight : Used to mean that the binding of a book has not been overly loosened by frequent use.
Ex-library : A former library book, generally containing library acquisition and ownership stamped markings, and other typical indications of the library's use.
remainder mark : Usually an ink marking of some sort which indicates that the book was designated a remainder. In most cases, it can be found on the edges of the text block in the form of a marker stripe or a stamp of some sort.
Remainder marks considerably lower the overall collectibility of a title, although, in some cases, they are acceptable to a collector.
bumped : Indicates that the affected part of the book has been impacted in such a way so as to cause a flattening, indention, or light bending.
shelf wear : Minor wear resulting from a book being place on, and taken from a bookshelf, especially along the bottom edge.
