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.

Since it was first published in 1939, Mike Mulligan and His SteamShovel has delighted generations of children. Mike and his trustysteam shovel, Mary Anne, have a very important job. They dig deepcanals for boats to travel through, cut mountain passes for trains, and hollow out cellars for big city skyscrapers-- the very symbol ofmodern industrial America. But with progress comes new machines, and soon the inseparable duo are out of work. Mike believes thatMary Anne can dig as much in a day as a hundred men can dig in aweek, and the two have one last chance to prove it and save MaryAnne from the scrap heap. What happens next in the small town ofPopperville is a testament to their friendship, as well as old-fashionedhard work and ingenuity. This Read-Along Book and CD Favorite includes a paperback editionof the book and a compact disc in a newly designed reusable package.
