What sort of physical condition should the books be in?

All books sold to sellbackyourBook.com must be in good condition or better. What does good condition mean?



  • No Water Damage

  • No Tears on the cover or pages

  • The dust jacket must be provided if originally included

  • Workbooks must not have any writing in them

  • Less than 30% of the book has highlighting/underlining or writing (remember workbooks must have NO writing)

  • No Missing or Loose Pages

  • No fire or smoke damage

  • The original supplements must be included, for example, tarot cards, figurines, crayons, chalk, etc.

  • Minimal wear to the binding - pages should be firmly attached to the binding -- bindings cannot be broken

  • No strong odor of any kind (including musty or cigarette odor, for example)

  • No items with the access code exposed or visible. This includes standalone items (for example an item that has an access code for an online class like Mathlab) as well as items that include a supplementary access code (for example a textbook packaged with an associated access code for an accompanying online class)
