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.

November 2003 was 40 years after the horrific assassination of President Kennedy. But the appeal of the Kennedys and their Camelot court remains as strong as ever, as the regular flow of books about them attests. But unlike so many of these other books, Sally Bedell Smith's Grace and Power has no axe to grind about the Kennedys: no obsession with JFK's womanising, or the alleged Mafia connections, or the family's susceptibility to tragedy. Instead, in a major work of history she tells the story of John and Jackie's three years in the White House straight: soberly, comprehensively, sensitively, from beginning to sudden end. Grace and Power is, then, a compassionate and immensely poignant chronicle of pivotal historical events seen from the inside out, from within the private home of the President and First Lady. When John Kennedy entered the White House he was only 43; his vulnerable wife Jackie, astonishingly, just 31.
