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.

Beyond the borders of the "lower forty-eight" lies America's ultimate wilderness, Alaska. The Big Land arouses dreams of terrifying cold, of snowy mountains, caribou, salmon, Eskimos, bears, gold and vast, million-acre tracts of virgin country. Now, come into the country with a justly celebrated guide, John McPhee. Take a remarkable journey with him by kayak down an arctic river, fish with him, explore the back country with him, help search for the site of a new state capital, join in the daily events of Eagle, a bush community of one hundred souls. Alaska has been intriguing folk for centuries. John McPhee gives it to us in all its the pioneers, the politicians, the new frontiersmen. The ordinary people with extraordinary dreams. McPhee leaves us with images we will never forget.
