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.

William Rees-Mogg is one of the pivotal figures of post-war Britain. In this brilliantly entertaining memoir he recounts the story of a colourful life, and reflects on the key figures and events of his time.
As editor of THE TIMES, journalist, commentator, Chairman of the Arts Council and Chairman of the Broadcasting Standards Council, William Rees-Mogg has spent his life at the centre of events in politics and journalism. He has mixed with royalty, prime ministers, presidents, business magnates and religious leaders - and in MEMOIRS he offers a unique, sometimes provocative, perspective on some of the most fascinating personalities of our age: Rab Butler, Margaret Thatcher, Anthony Eden, Shirley Williams, Roy Jenkins, Robin Day, Rupert Murdoch and many more.Rees-Mogg's personal life was filled with incident from an early age - he recounts his experiences during the Bristol Blitz; his doomed attempts to enter politics; writing speeches for Anthony Eden during the Suez Crisis; hiring burglars to uncover corruption in the Met; an eventful stay at Chequers with Harold Wilson; how Rupert Murdoch amused the Queen at lunch; and how Harold Macmillan impressed Ronald Reagan at dinner.
William Rees-Mogg's colourful and illuminating MEMOIRS offer a wonderfully readable life of one of the great characters of our time.
