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.

A debut novel which is charming, fresh and engaging. In 1844, at 94 years of age, Caroline Herschel was in the midst of a frustrated attempt at writing her memoirs. She sent the writings and many letters to her niece Arabella, suggesting the girl 'twist it into a novel entitled The Life and Adventures of Miss Caroline Herschel'. In 1844, at 94 years of age, Caroline Herschel was in the midst of a frustrated attempt at writing her memoirs. She sent the writings and many letters to her niece Arabella, suggesting the girl twist it into a Novel entitled The Life and Adventures of Miss Caroline Herschel. Arabella never wrote the proposed novel, but Carolines story is brought to life in Double the Stars. Escaping a life of drudgery with her mother, Caroline becomes a successful singer in high society 1780s Bath, but this life is wrenched from her when her brother, William, is appointed astronomer to King George III. As William makes discoveries that shoot him to celebrity, Caroline falls in love with astronomy for herself, making her own discoveries about the skies she sweeps from the roof-top. Friendship, love, betrayal and loyalty compete in this beautifully rendered life of an extraordinary woman living in extraordinary times. Writing with the precision and clarity of an award-winning poet, Kelley Swains debut novel is charming, fresh and engaging. A luminous, compelling story from a highly talented young author.
