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.

Football provides a concise guide to the origins of the terms associated with the ninety-two professional football clubs in the English leagues. It covers their names, nicknames, stadiums, stands, fanzines and club crests, providing etymologies and histories of where these names came from and why the clubs have adopted them over the years. For every football fan, and especially for those who travel to away grounds, the book will uncover the mysteries of names such as Tottenham Hotspur, the Boleyn Ground at West Ham, Chesterfield's nickname the Spireites, Blackburn Rovers' fanzine 10, 000 Holes and why there is a Canary on the Norwich club crest. If you have ever wondered why Liverpool's famous stand is called the Kop or why Newcastle's fans are called the Toon Army this is the book for you.Packed with anecdotes and little-known facts about every team from Arsenal to York City, the book will intrigue and inform in equal measures.
