In some cases the book will be one condition but the dustjacket is different condition. The overall rating will be the lower of the two. This will be noted and deficiencies listed. If only one condition is given, it means that the book and the dustjacket are this condition. Under some circumstances a seller's idea of condition varies from the buyer's idea of condition.
Nobody is neccesarily wrong.
