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.

This is the fourth collection of short stories by David Porter. Some are from old ideas, others newer. All share a direct style, twists and turns from the dark side of life and some amusing elements.
The stories are drawn from a varied life of performing in theatre in education, high school drama teaching, political organising, serving as Member of Parliament for a decade, examining/assessing and being a married father of four and grandfather of nine.
As with his previous short story anthologies, WILD BEASTS AND PLAGUE (2018), SCOFFERS WILL COME (2019) and THE SCAPEGOAT KEEPER (2021) plus his novels OLD MEN'S DREAMS (2015), DETESTABLE THINGS (2020) and NO LACK OF MADMEN (2023), this collection is published under his imprint Walk in My Shoes Publications, acknowledging Charcot Marie Tooth, a condition that has given him a lifetime of deformed feet to walk on.
