Condition: Standard Secondhand — £6.32
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.

"REVOLTING. ACTUALLY REVOLTING."

"THIS IS SO DARK, BUT IT IS FUNNY AS ****"

"IT'S LIKE RIK MAYALL REWROTE 'LOVE, ACTUALLY'"

All across London, billionaires receive an emergency alert from specialist extraction company B of the Bang. A nuclear missile is inbound and society's elite have less than 70 minutes to reach the bunkers. As they head for the exits,it's your fault if you get in the way.

From the bestselling indie author of the modern classic Before and After, B of the Bang is a satire of wealth, power, lobsters, inequality and why you shouldn't flush wet wipes down the toilet.

Praise for Andrew Shanahan's writing:

"The best debut since Iain Banks' The Wasp Factory." Jeremy Smith.

"A big fat five stars. This is a horror story. It's a visceral portrait of addiction and the hope of redemption in a world turned mad by hate and fear. The worst thing is that it is true. A must-read." Jane Almond-Deville, The British Obesity Society.

"Thought-provoking and inspiring, Before and After works on many levels." The British Fantasy Society.
