In recent years I see more and more books with this kind of back cover: I don't like it but I think so including jeans sold as new with fraying, holes and pre-treated wear marks. It may also be useful to put this in the option, sometimes buyers think it is a damaged book.

Sewn cardboard with open back.
(Or sewn softcover with open spine, if it has a soft cover.)
You can just mention that under Details.

Hi Harry, here (In the Wayback Machine): https://web.archive.org

/web/20010202140900/http://www.lucasbooks.com/collect.html you will find an essay that Robert F Lucas, who died in 2001, wrote about collecting books. It might help you: The one shown above might be an ARC (Advance Reading Copy): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_copy ?

EDIT: What it could also be is that a remaindered item (ramsj is not the right term in this case I think) is where the cover has simply been torn off to prevent it from being sold as a book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripped_book
