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.

Classic Boat's Best Book of 2020. Countless well-researched histories of yachting have been published since Victorian times. But, unaccountably, not one has focussed on Scotland. While individual Scottish designers have been lauded, even lionised, in lush biographies, the wider story of sailing in Scotland has been marginalised. This rich and colourful vein of incident and anecdote is acknowledged only in passing. Highland Cowes attempts to redress the north-south balance and bring the wider story of Scottish yachting into the mainstream. The book employs a thematic approach with a range of topics presented in parallel as a diorama of events, viewed conceptually 'through the lens' of Hunter's Quay - the village that lay at the heart of sailing in Scotland during the 'golden age of yachting'.
