GRADING TERMINOLOGY
Chipping - A descriptor emphasizing the absence of on sale portions of a book's edges, specifically as it relates to the binding or dust jacket cover
Foxing - Brown spotting of paged content due to chemical exposure or reactivity to chemical agents, a state of condition commonplace to 19th Century written publications, particularly evident in steel engravings
Deckled Pagination - Deckled pagination is identified as content ascribed to a particular book or novel whose edges are not evenly distributed, giving it the appearance of being loose from its fulcral attachment (spine). Some publishing companies utilize this as a means of establishing a sense of illusion with regard to the chronological age of a product (so as to create the impression of a faux-type of significance in the nostalgic sense), but, in most instances, deckled pages are a by-product of time.
