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.

Agathe is a young Parisian philosophy graduate who orchestrates her life with complete freedom. Her father is a publisher whom she adores; her mother is a Chilean refugee whose past life is a painful and unspoken secret. First Novel covers two months in Agathe's life in Paris and London. She and her boyfriend Victor form the nucleus of a small bohemian group in Paris, a young intellectual elite of diverse social backgrounds. The two share a passion for creating different worlds and for inventing new rules and, because they love one another, they believe in a profound, complete and adaptable fidelity. However, one day reality intrudes to shatter these principles. Their carefully organised world of hedonism and liberation from the conventions of society and morality comes crashing down around them. Mazarine Pingeot's novel succeeds both as a powerful reflection of our times and as a stimulating novel of ideas.
