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.

Historians have long bemoaned the fact that most British people leave school, and indeed university, lacking any real knowledge of their island's history. This straightforward and lavishly illustrated guide has been prepared to address this unfortunate situation. Containing over 200 colour illustrations it has been designed to draw the reader in to a much better understanding of what happened in the past. The book is divided into nine steps, starting with the period before the Romans arrived and ending with the House of Windsor. It is written using short sentences and plenty of brief paragraphs - some of the descriptions are in bullet point style so, for example, if you want to look up the facts about a particular monarch or a particular event, you should find it all there, presented in simple terms. With an index of over 3,000 lines you should find your way to what you want very quickly. At the end are nine blank pages on which it is suggested you write your own notes as your knowledge of history develops.
