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.

Author Bill Groneman explores a theory that the book With Santa Anna in Texas -- A Personal Narrative of the Revolution by Jose Enrique de la Pena, a leading authority reference for Alamo history, may be based on a forgery that was produced long after the events of 1835-36. Join the author as he explores the character of de la Pena, an officer who allegedly took part in the Mexican campaign against Texas, and examines the diary itself to determine if the physical evidence constitutes a hoax. If indeed it is, some of the facts we hold dear about the events at the Alamo may be only myths. Through this book, readers form their own conclusions.
