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.

This exciting new series of heritage tourist guides from Batsford gives an authentic flavour of the history of London and will appeal to all lovers of this wonderful city in both the local and tourist markets.

Jack the Ripper's London recreates the creepy, oppressive atmosphere of London's East End in the brief period in the 1880s when a killer stalked the night. The identity of the murderer known as Jack the Ripper, who killed five (or more) women, has never been discovered, though thousands of theories have been postulated, some more outlandish than others. Discover where the murders took place, how the killer outwitted the police, and the many legends and conspiracy theories that have built up around the subject. This absorbing guide to one of the city's more infamous periods is an essential companion for Londoner and tourist alike.
