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.

The definitive Economist guide to the world of economics

Economics. Sometime called the dismal science", it's a discipline and topic that's often seen as dull; mysterious at best. And yet it's crucial to understanding the world we live in today. From humble beginnings in Ancient Greece to the today's mammoth global system, it's never been more important to know your macro from your micro and your fiscal from your monetary policy. Bestselling author Philip Coggan lifts the veil with an entertaining, no-nonsense guide that combines an overviewof the development and scope of the field with an all-new A-Z of key economics concepts and terms. Crisp, sophisticated and often surprising, this is the complete guide to what economics is - and why it matters."
