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.

Sebag-Montefiore, Hugh. Kings on the The Louis Vuitton and Moet-Hennessy Affair. London, Chapmans, 1992. 15.5 cm x 23.5 cm. 275 pages. Original softcover. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. Includes for example the following The Hotel Intercontinental in Paris, July 1990 / Arnault's Rivals / The Men in Suits / Fighting over Lacroix / Goodbye, Madame Celine / Bernard Arnault the Property Developer Bought Dior / The Perfumed Honeypot / The Veuve Clicquot Affair / The Infamous Bonds etc. In 1988, the French Louis Vuitton and Moet-Hennessy companies agreed on a merger which created the biggest luxury goods company in the world. Veuve Clicquot and Mercier champagne, Hennessy cognac, Parfums Christian Dior and the famous Louis Vuitton luggage were among a portfolio of world-class brands. At the time, the merger was hailed as a brilliant strategic move delivering to this day an immensely impressive profits stream. Within weeks, however, there were bitter fights in the boardroom, in the courts, in bankers' offices, in the Bourse and in the newspapers. And when Guinness plc, with its internationally high profile and whose fortunes have also been dramatically transformed after its boardroom battles, became a major shareholder in LVMH a new and intriguing British dimension was added.
