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.

When my blood became ink, words began to flow.
When Juliet Robertson received an unexpected diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) in 2020, her life altered irreparably. Poetry became an unexpected source of strength, offering an outlet for her to make sense of her illness.
Blood Lines is a poignant exploration of Juliet's life with terminal cancer. Her resilience and positivity are evident throughout this heartwarming collection of poems and the accompanying narrative is a shining example of how to live with adversity. Juliet intertwines notes, poems and visuals beautifully to craft a deeply layered narrative.
The book boldly confronts taboo subjects, delving into the medical intricacies of illness and the concept of death with unflinching courage. Juliet's flair for writing is well-known to readers of her bestselling works, Dirty Teaching and Messy Maths.
Bold, tender and unexpectedly humorous, this book will offer comfort and solace to anyone personally affected by cancer.
"Blood Lines is a handbook for living and dying well, delivered with grace, fortitude and humour". Sue Burge, Writer and Mentor.
A moving and inspiring read for anyone that has been personally affected by cancer, including patients, their family and friends and oncology professionals as well as all poetry enthusiasts.
