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.

"È da una galoppata in senso stretto che ha origine la fortuna della Signora delle camelie e, successivamente, della Traviata di Giuseppe Verdi. Un giorno di settembre del 1844, infatti, di ritorno da una passeggiata a cavallo Alexandre Dumas figlio si recò al teatro parigino dei Variétés, frequentato soprattutto da 'un'aristocrazia della galanteria' composta perlopiù da giovani mantenute e dai loro ricchi protettori. In quel variegato ambiente, quella sera, Dumas figlio incontrò la donna che avrebbe segnato la sua vita e la sua fortuna di romanziere. 'Era alta e sottile, scura di capelli, il viso rosa e bianco. Aveva la faccia minuta, occhi allungati di smalto, come una giapponese, ma vividi e fieri, le labbra d'un rosso ciliegia, i più bei denti del mondo.' Si faceva chiamare Marie Duplessis, ed era conosciuta anche per la voracità con la quale dilapidava i patrimoni degli amanti, alcuni dei quali famosi, come ad esempio Franz Liszt" (dalla Postfazione di Cinzia Bigliosi). Alexandre si innamorò dal primo istante di quella giovane, che avrebbe ispirato la protagonista della Signora delle camelie: una grande storia d'amore senza tempo, un libro che sarebbe diventato in breve tempo un classico della letteratura romantica.
