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.

HMS Safari was one of the most successful British submarines of the Second World War. Between March 1942 and September 1943 she sailed some 31,312 nautical miles and spent 139 days submerged. During this time she fought 58 actions against Axis shipping and sank 34 ships, totalling 85,000 tons.
As Safari's Leading Telegraphist, Arthur Dickison had a privileged position in the crew. With access to all signals traffic and the navigation officer as his 'boss', Arthur was afforded a unique insight into daily operations. Throughout eighteen months of war patrols he kept a personal diary (strictly against the rules) of life aboard Safari, recording daily events that ranged from the tedium of long sea passages to stalking enemy convoys; from crash dives to fighting it out with enemy shipping on the surface; from making submerged attacks with torpedoes to 'sitting it out' on the sea bottom while depth charges rained down all around.
The full range of the submariner's experience - and of human emotion - is here in this vivid eyewitness account.
