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.

"Necessity is the mother of invention and Madeleine had to invent something, all herself. She was on the run, in the fast lane, moving from town to town across the States, changing her identity, once, twice, as many times as necessary. Necessity hath no law, there was no law in any of this; those who were after her were outside the law; she had abandoned child, husband, wealth. First she had to save herself, and to save herself she had to change. That was what the money was for. She'd had to take it. The diamonds were for Ellen. First flight, before the fierce love force of a mother for her child could change to and nature must obey necessity. Brian Garfield's stunning new novel is set against the background of organized crime. Striking and fast paced, it is an intensely human drama of one woman's confrontation with the brute strength of corruption; a battle that for her could have only one ending."
