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.

Hodge - a countryman, a rustic, a generic nobody, what Dr Johnson called his cat. Arthur Miller's salesman, Willie Loman, is Hodge on the road: 'His name was never in the paper... But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid.' For the TLS, Oliver Reynolds's previous book, 'Almost', was 'as good a volume as any of the 1990s'. In 'Hodge', he finds a dry-eyed pathos in life on the periphery: the little people, the hands, the staff and the staffage. Attention is paid. Here are the pyramid-builders, a Cardiff swimming-pool attendant, the ushers of the Royal Opera House and a caretaker who speaks for them all (even, perhaps, for the reader): 'We have lives of our own, but not just yet.'
