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.

From Publishers Weekly
The author of Real Men Don't Eat Quiche, Feirstein here takes a satirical look at the modern dating game. Representative of the better pieces is the "North American Field Spotter's Guide to Dating Classifications," which notes characteristics of, for example, the "Walking Wounded (Stage One)." These are creatures who "pour their hearts out, spending six hours telling you how badly their last girlfriend (or boyfriend) treated themand then, as the air slowly disappears from the room, they'll announce, 'But that's all in the past. Do you want to go to bed?' " Feirstein also updates popular books and movies for the 1980s. ("Gone with the Wind: Rhett still doesn't give a damn. But it's okay now, because Scarlett has a career.") However, the illustrations are flat, and there are many rambling fictional stories based on weak premises, such as an interview with Sigmund Freud while he drives his white Cadillac. Altogether this is a mixed bag that has supremely humorous moments.
