Detailed account of the Victorian passion for all things Prehistoric & Dinosaur.

f/f : Fine condition book, with fine condition dust jacket. Fine condition is defined by AB Bookman's Weekly as "approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. For the use of the term Fine there must also be no defects, etc., and if the jacket has a small tear, or other defect, or looks worn, this should be noted."
Cloth : Generally refers to a hardcover with cloth covering the outside of the book covers.
