Furuhon (second-hand book)

Japanese: 古本 - ふるほん（英語表記）second-hand book

A book that has been owned by someone else. A term for a new book. It is usually distinguished from "used books," which are expensive regardless of whether they are available as new books or not. It can also refer to old books in general that have been published many years ago and are no longer available from publishers or new book stores because they are out of print. [See also] Used books
