Standard used book descriptions

Today’s unhelpful description of a used book:
Better than standard
Standards are notoriously personal and elastic. I hope used book buyers' standards are too high to buy a book described thusly.

Feel free to share your feelings about Standard used book descriptions. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted.
This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
