What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

From V.E. Schwab, the critically acclaimed author of Vicious, comes a new universe of daringadventure, thrilling power, and parallel Londons, beginning with A Darker Shade of Magic.

Kell is one of the last Travellers -- magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between paralleluniverses -- as such, he can choose where he lands. There's Grey London, dirty and boring, withoutany magic, ruled by a mad King George. Then there's Red London, where life and magic arerevered, and the Maresh Dynasty presides over a flourishing empire. White London, ruled bywhoever has murdered their way to the throne -- a place where people fight to control magic, andthe magic fights back, draining the city to its very bones. And once upon a time, there was BlackLondon...but no one speaks of that now.

Officially, Kell is the Red Traveller, personal ambassador and adopted Prince of Red London,carrying the monthly correspondences between the royals of each London. Unofficially, Kell is asmuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll neversee -- a dangerous hobby, and one that has set him up for accidental treason.
