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.

One of Jane Austen's earliest works, Love and Friendship is a sharply satirical novella that pokes fun at the romantic excesses and social pretensions of eighteenth-century upper-class society.
Written as a series of lively letters, the story unfolds through the correspondence of Laura, an overly sentimental heroine, who shares her melodramatic misadventures with the impressionable Marianne, the daughter of her old friend, Isabel. Laura recounts her impulsive decisions, breathless romances, and a series of improbable coincidences with an earnestness that borders on the absurd. From swooning fits to secret weddings, Love and Friendship revels in mocking the tropes of sentimental fiction.
Composed when she was just a teenager, this playful parody is filled with flamboyant emotion and Austen's signature dry humour, showcasing her budding genius and irrepressible wit. This delightful piece of juvenilia includes her original spelling quirks and offers a glimpse into the early brilliance of one of literature's most enduring voices.
