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.

The incredible story of 2024 Co-Australian of the Year, Richard Scolyer, as he uses his groundbreaking melanoma science to fight his own 'incurable' diagnosis with brain cancer.
A dedicated doctor. A devastating diagnosis. A chance for a medical revolution.
Skin cancer is this country's most common cancer, and melanoma the deadliest form of it. Richard Scolyer, together with his colleagues at Melanoma Institute Australia, has dedicated years to groundbreaking research and succeeded in transforming even the most advanced cases of melanoma into a largely curable disease.
Then last year, at the peak of his life, Richard was devastated when he was diagnosed with an incurable brain cancer.
As a world-leading clinician and cancer researcher, Richard was never going to accept the status quo - including a medical approach unchanged in nearly two decades and an expectation of little more than a year to live. He instead chose to undertake world-first experimental treatment for his brain cancer, based on melanoma science. His brave decision could shorten or save his life-the only certainty is that it will push the brain cancer field forward and ultimately help save the lives of others.
This is his story.
