Ranking Definitions
 
   


     
 
The scoring system is nice and simple. A score of ten is maximum, it pretty much says that this book is one of the three or four most glorious books ever written. A score of one, on the other hand, says that the printing of this particular work is an active detriment to society at large, should never have been written, author should be put in the stockade, etc etc. Neither extreme should be used except in rare occassions. Scores in the middle are for books in the middle, at whatever quality you see fit. Anyway, a more specific breakdown follows:
