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.

Have you ever wished you could spend your life doing only what you believe in and what you enjoy? Employed during his National Service by a brilliant but eccentric general, Gerard Morgan-Grenville learned that your destiny is largely what you make it. He soon veered off the conventional career path to follow his principles and beliefs. Short of money, he set up as a merchant adventurer; falling in love with a canal boat, he pioneered passenger barges on the French waterways; enraptured by travel, he pursued projects from Azerbaijan to Antarctica; passionate about railways, he developed hotel trains in Scotland and Siberia; deeply concered by environmental decline, he founded the ground-breaking Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales and co-founded the Green Alliance. This vibrant account of an unconventional existence is full of anecdotes of crossing the Sahara Desert, bashing the nuclear power industry, building follies, designing ships and flying a slalom between the chimneys of a refinery.
