It's weird to think of books as being "used" or "new." Pretty much any book you buy at a store has probably been flipped through at least once or twice, but I feel guilty describing a paperback about horses that I'm trying to sell as "new" because I remember that in this one, at the last second, the vet realizes the test was a false positive and they don't have to put the horse down after all (!), and I did not obtain this information by osmosis.

I should also add, for those familiar with my typical book-destroying reading habits, that I read these so quickly that I didn't hardly flag the pages or break the spines AND it was before I had a purse so they were most likely stored safely on my nightstand when I wasn't devouring them into the wee hours of the morning.
