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.

En hommage à la mémoire de son grand-père, symbole de la tradition, contraint de s'éloigner à jamais de la terre de ses ancêtres, le cadet d'une vieille famille française enfermée dans l'image du passé raconte ce qui a été et qui achève de s'effondrer. Le berceau de la tribu, le château de Plessis-lez-Vaudreuil, est au centre de cette longue chronique qui embrasse, depuis les croisades jusqu'à nos jours, l'histoire du monde, du pays, du clan, de tout ce que la lignée a incarné et en quoi elle a cru, et qui s'est peu a peu effrité. Un mariage d'amour et d'argent, les idées contemporaines et subversives, les livres, les moeurs nouvelles ouvrent successivement des brèches dans la forteresse de la tradition. L'histoire du XXe siècle, avec ses situations paradoxales, précipite la mutation et la décadence d'une famille qui avait su, à travers tous les cataclysmes, maintenir ses privilèges et conserver son charme.
