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.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Pour se défendre dans un procès qu’il s’intente à lui-même, l’auteur fait défiler au galop un passé évanoui. Il va de l’âge d’or d’un classicisme qui règne sur l’Europe à l’effondrement de ce « monde d’hier » si cher à Stefan Zweig. De Colbert, Fouquet, Bossuet ou Racine à François Mitterrand, Raymond Aron, Paul Morand et Aragon. Mais les charmes d’une vie et les tourbillons de l’histoire ne suffisent pas à l’accusé : « Vous n’imaginiez tout de même pas, que j’allais me contenter de vous débiter des souvenirs d’enfance et de jeunesse ? Je ne me mets pas très haut, mais je ne suis pas tombé assez bas pour vous livrer ce qu’on appelle des Mémoires ». Les aventures d’un écrivain qui a aimé le bonheur et le plaisir en dépit de tant de malheurs cèdent peu à peu la place à un regard plus grave sur le drame qui ne cesse jamais de se jouer entre le temps et l’éternité, et qui nous emportera."
