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 is it like to give your all but see the dream of becoming a top-flight footballer slowly die before your eyes?
A book every parent should read before allowing their child to join a top-flight football academy, Dominic Ball’s moving memoir is the real-life mud, sweat and tears journey of six band-of-brothers friends and their quest to become Premier League footballers.
Plucked from junior clubs as primary school age children by England’s biggest football academies, From Winning Teams to Broken Dreamsreveals the inside out experiences of boys who strain every sinew to make the grade.
A Championship level footballer currently with QPR and a former England Under-20 international, Ball lifts the lid on the highs and lows, doubts and fears, lucky breaks and heartache, trials and tribulations, lonely loan moves and cruel, untimely injuries experienced by many young footballers.
Written to raise funds for Sarcoma UK, a charity that supports research into the rare form of bone cancerthat claimed the life of Spencer McCall, one of the six boys featured at the age of just 26, From Winning Teams to Broken Dreams shines a light and poses serious questions about football youth development in England.
