How do I know if a book is surplus or not?
A surplus book is typically one that has been previously owned by someone else, often a library, school, or individual who has decided to sell it rather than keep it. These books may have been part of a larger collection or used for educational purposes, but are no longer needed.Surplus books can vary in condition, from being like-new and nearly brand new, to having signs of wear such as worn covers, creased pages, or other minor damage. They often come at a lower price point compared to buying a brand new book, making them an attractive option for readers on a budget or those who are not particular about the condition of their books.
