As the Kid Goes for Broke

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £12.12
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 Washington to California to Peking, it is hard to tell as one follows the fortunes of the Doonesbury cast just where the wages of political education are most agonizing. Perhaps on Capitol Hill, where Congressman Ventura must explain what he was doing in a motel with an employee of no known qualifications other than clear diction and admirable posture. Or in Berkeley, where Virginia Slade's run for Congress stumbles over the quaint but effective campaign of a bluestocking Republican WASP, and Joanie Caucus goes for broke with wizard political reporter Rick Redfern. Or perhaps it is most painful in mainland China, where Uncle Duke must undergo appendectomy by acupuncture, then try to improve his betting line on the governmental hierarchy with a cram course in Shanghai wall posters. Wherever, one thing is abundantly clear, the only cartoon strip to win a Pulitzer Prize gets ever more delightfully opportunistic." -- Back cover
