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 Buenos Aires, in the mid-seventies, a ten-year-old boy lives in a world of school lessons and Superman comics, TV shows and games of Risk ... But in his hometown, the military has just taken power, and amid a climate of increasing fear and intimidation, people begin to disappear without trace. When his mother unexpectedly takes him and his younger brother away from school, she tells them they're going on an impromptu family trip. But he soon realises that this will be no holiday: his parents are known supporters of the opposition, and they are going into hiding. Holed up in a safe-house in the remote hills outside the city, the family assumes new identities. The boy names himself Harry after his hero Houdini, and as the uncertain world around him descends into chaos, he spends his days of exile learning the secrets of escape."--Provided by publisher.
