First Edition (no additional printings indicated). Signed. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 8vo (9 1/4" X 6 1/2"). 228 pages. From rear of dustjacket: Drawing upon original historical documents both in the United States and Scotland, T. Reed Ferguson has assembled a perceptive biography of John Couper (1759-1850), a St. Simons Island plantation owner renowned for his humane treatment of his slaves, his bold horticultural experiments, his lifelong civic service, and his far-reaching generosity. The John Couper Family at Cannon's Point chronicles coastal Georgia life in the years between the Revolutionary War and the American Civil War and concludes with the decline of the Couper plantation, Cannon's Point, as a result of the Union occupation of Georgia.

These terms have been widely adopted as industry standards since then: As New is to be used only when the book is in the same immaculate condition in which it was published. There can be no defects, no missing pages, no library stamps, etc., and the dustjacket (if it was issued with one) must be perfect, without any tears. Fine approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. For the use of the term Fine there must also be no defects, etc., and if the jacket has a small tear, or other defect, or looks worn, this should be noted. Very Good can describe a used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects must be noted. Good describes the average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects must be noted. Fair is a worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. (which must be noted). Binding, jacket (if any), etc. may also be worn. All defects must be noted. Poor describes a book that is sufficiently worn that its only merit is as a Reading Copy because it does have the complete text, which must be legible. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.
