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.

Shares an insider's view of life in France, telling a personal tale of 'taking risks, facing challenges and falling in love with all things French'. In 1999 Vicki Archer, with her husband and three children, made a lifelong dream a reality when she bought a seventeenth-century property in Saint-Remy-de-Provence. She spent three years lovingly restoring the farmhouse, bringing back to life the abandoned apple and pear orchards and planning an olive grove of more than 2000 trees. 'My dream has well and truly come true. Our home is filled with family and friends, and friends of family and their friends. We have a magnificent view overlooking the Alpilles, olive trees that continue to prosper and a garden that wraps the house in serenity and calm. I have come to understand that making time and taking time is a pleasure to be enjoyed, not a nuisance to endure. Falling in love all those years ago changed my life as I knew it; my coup de foude opened the door to another life, my French life.' Intertwined with Vicki's words are lavish photographs by Carla Coulson, which reveal the essence of instinctive French Chic.
