Wikipedia definition
3. Used book​A used book or secondhand book is a book which has been owned before by an owner other than the publisher or retailer, usually by an individual or library. Used books typically become available on the market when they are sold or given to a second-hand shop or used bookstore; they are usually sold for about half or three-quarters the price of what they were originally bought for, though rare books and others still in demand or hard to obtain might sell for more than their original price.
