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.

Donor Conception: a step-by-step guide is an indispensable resource for anyone considering or already navigating the complex world of donor conception. Inspired by her own journey using an American sperm donor and the subsequent discovery that her daughter has over 100 siblings, Pascoe offers a unique perspective on the emotional, ethical, and practical considerations that come with this path to parenthood.


Through a compelling narrative that seamlessly blends practical tips with the lived experiences of Pascoe and others, this book provides a comprehensive roadmap for every stage of the donor conception process. From the initial decision-making phase to the challenges that arise beyond birth, such as discussing origins with your child and others, Pascoe covers all the essential aspects of this journey.


Drawing on a decade of meticulous research and interviews with donors, recipient parents, and donor-conceived individuals, Pascoe presents a nuanced exploration of the risks and benefits associated with donor conception. She sheds light on the ethical pitfalls within a profit-driven industry, empowering readers to make informed decisions and tread carefully.

Whether you're just beginning to explore the possibility of donor conception or are already immersed in its complexities, this book is an essential companion. With its perfect balance of informative content and personal storytelling, Donor Conception: a step-by-step guide is a resource that many wish they had discovered before embarking on this unique path to building a family.


'In this profoundly insightful and thoroughly detailed book, Gail Pascoe captures the intricate journey of donor conception with the sensitivity it demands.'
