A Beautiful Copy of a desirable Pacific Leatherneck. Pacific Leathernecks were Very Unique. First, they were printed twice a month, 1st and 15th. Second, they were 40 pages with no advertising. A regular monthly Leatherneck was 80 pages with advertising, printed the 1st of every month. The cover Artwork could be similar with the 1st of the month issue but the mid-month was totally different. The cost was different too. Pacific $.10, Regular monthly $.15. The articles, photographs and jokes wererevised for Pacific Leathernecks. More hard hitting. Mild age toning in this issue around the edges. Staples are holding firm, the covers and all inside pages. This Pacific Leatherneck is Scare in Very Good Condition. A True Collector's Copy! Please view our quality photographs.


TERMS DESCRIBING BOOK CONDITION

Mint: When a book has just been flawlessly printed and flawlessly bound and has not yet been handled, it is in mint or pristine condition. When describing a used book, "mint" is an ideal condition and very rarely a reality. In the more than a quarter of a century before retiring that I was an antiquarian bookseller, I described tens of thousands of used books, and I described only two of them as mint.

Very Fine or As New: The book can readily pass as being brand new.

Fine: If it were shelved in a new books store, it would still pass as a new book, but it is in less brand-new condition than a very fine / as new book.

Very Good (VG) or Near Fine: Describes a used book that is almost but not quite in fine condition. It would not quite pass muster as a new book in a shop dealing in new books. The book might have a lightly bumped cover corner or might have slight shelf wear. The dust jacket might be a bit rubbed along its edges and might have a few tiny edge chips.

Good Plus: Describes a used book that is at the high end of Good but not quite Very Good / Near Fine. (Used book dealers who use Near Fine might use Very Good in this sense.)

Good: Describes a used book that is complete, sound, and clean, with moderate signs of wear. The book may look somewhat shelf worn and may have bumped corners. Some pages may be dog-eared. A paperback book may have cover creases. The dust jacket may have more than tiny but still moderate edge chips or may have a bit faded spine. If there is a short, closed tear mended on the inside of the dj with archival tape, this should be mentioned.

Fair: This describes a used book with serious physical condition flaws but still complete and holding together. It may, for instance, have stains, or a split spine, or the binding may be cocked or starting to come loose. The dust jacket may have long tears or deep chips or may be stained or soiled.

Poor: Describes a book that is falling apart. Pages and portions of pages may be missing. The book may be damaged by, for instance, water, smoke, fire, animal bites, insects, or mishandling. The dust jacket is tattered or has large chips missing or has been scratched or scribbled on.

RELATIVE SCARCITY

COMMON ~ A common book is exactly what it sounds like -- thousands of copies are available and easily purchased. Quite often a common book was once a bestseller. Sometimes it was simply overproduced and then dumped on the remainder market. Common books aren't to be completely scorned, however. Often the demand for fine or better copies of a once-popular book is still strong.

UNCOMMON ~ An uncommon book is one that used to be difficult to find, although in today's market most of the copies available can be easily located and purchased. Condition is a big factor in the value of uncommon books, as is current demand for the title. A book may be uncommon, but if nobody cares about it anymore, it is of little value.

SCARCE ~ A scarce book is one of which an unknown number of copies exist, but which turns up from time to time. You can generally tell if a book is scarce by looking it up on AbeBooks.com. If there are four or fewer copies being offered for sale on ABE, the book can be considered scarce.

RARE ~ A rare book is one of which very few copies still exist, and which is almost never found outside libraries or existing collections. Occasionally rare books do turn up "in the wild", and when they are recognized they end up at sales where they fetch considerable sums. (Some booksellers consider a book "rare" if they find a copy every five or ten years. Others would call this frequency "very scarce". In any case, such "semi-rare" books can fetch high prices, depending on the current market.)
