What the description should tell you

Paper

Give the size, finish and weight if verified. Note any deckled edges, folds or visible marks. Avoid permanence or archival claims unless the supplier documents them.

Binding

Name the construction where known. Describe whether a volume opens flat, how the spine moves and whether the cover has wear.

Records & sleeves

Describe the disc and sleeve separately. State how condition was checked, and disclose scratches, splits, writing or other visible changes.
