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.

In Praise of Jamaica celebrates the achievements of the people of Jamaican ancestry--at home and in the diaspora--who by their deeds have helped to transform the island from a dependent colonial society to a fully independent nation.
For would-be travelers and tourists, the book also provides more than a glimpse of the island's outstanding beauty and rich natural heritage. Section II: The Wonders of Jamaica, introduces readers to the spectacular heritage of the country with images of its pristine white sand beaches and promontories, misty Blue Mountains, tumbling waterfalls, spring-fed lagoons, lush river valleys and rugged rainforests.
Jamaica has produced many heroes in history and In Praise of Jamaica recognizes these icons of courage. The book celebrates the island's many successes especially on the world stage--in music, sports, the arts, entertainment as well as in science, education and politics -- while also showcasing a rich and vibrant culture at home.
