Description
OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LIFE UNFOLDED by V.K. KHANNA & MEENAKSHI F. PAUL
A new book is a book previously not circulated to a buyer. Although a new book is typically free of any faults or defects, new is not actually a description of condition as a new book may possibly display shelf wear from the shop or distributor supplying it or printing errors or defects from publishing that were not detected. The actual specifics of a new book may be hard for a bookseller to state or predict as they may be shipping one of any number of copies of the title to fill the order. This, as opposed to As New which describes a used book that is determined to be free of any faults or wear.
