EighteenOn a Life-Edge; on an Education-Edge

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £763.47
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.

What does it mean to be eighteen? In their own words: 'eighteeners' respond directly to this question in a series of interviews collated by Sociologist and teacher, Corinna Ferros. Their stories are uncensored, first hand, free-flowing and wide ranging. By hearing these eighteen-year-olds, Ferros asserts a deeper understanding can be achieved, as to what 'social mobility' and 'mental health' really means in the context of education and how current contingencies can be reconfigured. Eighteen is rich and personal. It is a troubling yet inspiring portrait of young people today emerging as young adults and dealing with how they see and are seen by the world around them; by their peers, their teachers and their families.
