They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check).

Creased due to previous folding. Very Good. Poster summoning protesters to a march and rally following the acquittal of the white police officer Frank Bosco who fatally shot Claude Reese in September 1974. On September 15th, 1974, a fourteen-year-old Black boy was shot and killed by a white police officer in Brownsville, Brooklyn. According to New York Times reporting, the policeman was responding to a suspected burglary when he came upon Claude Reese and a few friends clearing a basement room for an upcoming birthday party. Bosco shot the boy in the head after mistaking the handsaw in Reese's hand for a gun. The shooting sparked instant outrage, especially in the predominantly Black neighborhood where it took place. One week after the incident, Bosco was stripped of his firearm and reassigned to a temporary clerical role, but not suspended from the force. Four months later, on December 17th, a grand jury cleared Rosco of criminal negligence in Reese's death and restored the officer's normal duties. This result devastated the community, organizers, and advocates that assembled in the wake of Reese's death, and presumably provoked the demonstration announced on this poster. The rally location, a high school in Manhattan, points to youth involvement and a city-wide awareness of the issue. Along with calling for justice for Claude Reese, this poster also notes the unjust imprisonment of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. At the time, Carter was serving a wrongful prison sentence for a triple homicide that occurred in Paterson, NJ, in 1966. Carter entered prison in 1967 and spent eighteen years incarcerated before a habeas corpus petition successfully overturned his case. Carter's memoir, written from prison, was published on January 1st, 1974, which called renewed attention to his case. As of April 2026, we locate no separately cataloged copies of this poster in OCLC.
