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.

How does a fourteen-year-old boy become a knight? In this compelling narrative, readers are introduced to the knighthood of William Marshal, who was perhaps the most remarkable knight ever to live. From his rigorous training in the use of sword, spear, and shield, to his many tournaments and his battles during the Crusades, this engrossing story details the amazing career of William Marshal while giving readers a glimpse into medieval life.

Special features and sidebars complement the tale of this knight, offering informative notes on weaponry, the rules of chivalry, castle life, and the religious and political background of the era. This is the essential book for young readers who are fascinated by the adventure-filled golden age of the knights.
