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 always,Java in a Nutshellhas the answers. The new 4th edition still contains an accelerated introduction to the Java programming language and its key APIs so you can start writing code right away.

  • High-performance NIO API
  • Support for pattern matching with regular expressions
  • A logging API
  • A user preferences API
  • New Collections classes
  • An XML-based persistence mechanism for Java Beans
  • Support for XML parsing using both the DOM and SAX APIs
  • User authentication with the JAAS API
  • Support for secure network connections using the SSL protocol
  • Support for cryptography
