BARBARA BRABEC has been a home-based self-employed writer and publisher for most of her adult life. Her writing and publishing career, which began in 1971, has evolved through the years. Between 1980 and 2000, she gained recognition as one of North America’s best-known home-business writers and speakers. During those years she wrote, edited, and published a subscription home-business newsletter, self-published two books, and worked with trade publishers who wanted new books as well as revised editions of her earlier books. Two of her eight trade books—Creative Cash and Homemade Money—were decades-long best sellers and considered classics in their individual fields.

Notes on Condition/Edition ratings:

Fine – means like new, but any book produced over 10 years ago isn't “brand new”.  Booksellers needed some word to describe this...

Like New – A new book, no marks no damage (except maybe remainder marks or shelf-wear) except not obtained directly from the publisher or in packaging from the publisher.

Very Good – How you or I might take care of a book, closer to “as new” than standard. Might show ownership.

Good – How someone else might take care of a book. Also referred to as “standard.” The most likely condition

for books of this age & title, shows the book has been read or previously owned.

Acceptable – How a child, student or a librarian might take care of a book. (Either trying to make sure

someone doesn't steal it by plastering ownership everywhere, filled it with copious notes or a book that has been damaged.)

Poor – Combination of “acceptable” factors above. Most likely with water damage as well. Might have

missing pages (you should ask).

Near – Means “almost” in an optimistic sense. e.g., “Near Fine” means very good, but on the high end.

1^st Thus – Unique somehow, maybe 1^st paperback, new illustrator, misprint or even the 1^st edition. A collector

might desire this copy.

Thanks for looking!
