He's Done Ever So Well for Himself

Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £1.02
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.

"As a boy, growing up in the half of the country decimated by Mrs Thatcher's steely economics, Jamie dreams of rubbing shoulders with the glamorous creatures from the pages of Smash Hits - only to discover, once amongst them years later, that the real stars in his life are those he left behind. Not least his mother Gloria, whose one-liners are as colourful as the marabou mules and Day-Glo dungarees she carries off with the panache of a television landlady. When Jamie swaps the high heels and high hair of 80s Midlands for the high expectations of 90s London, he's drawn towards a new family of misfits, fueled by drugs and sexual experimentation - from which he must ultimately untangle himself in order to fulfil his dreams. His journey to becoming a successful artist will raise a knowing smile from anyone who has discovered that finding your place in the world is easier when you are at ease with the place from which you came."--Publisher's description.
