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.

Vers 1928, le commissaire Maigret voit arriver au Quai des Orfèvres un jeune journaliste très sûr de lui, et mème passablement arrogant, qui s'appelle Georges Sim. Et qui n'hésite pas à publier un peu plus tard, à grand renfort de publicité, un roman le mettant en scène, lui Maigret, sous son vrai nom !
Bien des années plus tard, devenu l'ami de Simenon, Maigret prend la plume à son tour, désireux de rectifier l'image que le romancier a donnée de lui et de son métier. Quitte à convenir, de plus ou moins bon gré, que la vérité romanesque n'est peut-ètre pas infidèle à la vérité tout court... Savoureux et ironique dialogue entre un personnage et son auteur, ces Mémoires de Maigret forment aussi un étonnant tableau du Paris louche de l'entre-deux-guerres, avec ses hôtels garnis, ses truands, ses prostituées, ses pickpockets, ses immigrés légaux ou clandestins.
C'est une partie qui se joue, une partie qui n'a pas de fin. Une fois qu'on l'a commencée, il est bien difficile, sinon impossible, de la quitter Qui parle, le romancier ou le commissaire ? Allez savoir !
