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.

Nor the Years Condemn is set in the Tamar Valley of Devonshire and spans most of this century. The focal point is the land farmed for generations by the Collins family - Beechfiekl Farm -Beechfield and the struggle, over the years, by Laura Collins to keep the ownership of the farm within her family.
The novel begins in 1914, at the outbreak of the First World War, when Laura is a girl, and continues through to her death in the mid 1980s. During this period she knows some triumph, but much disaster and tragedy. She is, however, always given strength to fight against all that an uncaring and uncertain world can throw at her by her overwhelming love for Beechfield.
The story unfolds against the backdrop of the rural splendour of the Tamar Valley, its changing moods and, more relevantly, the revolution in social attitudes and farming methods which have, in so many ways, altered the character of the area and the outlook of the people who live there.
Ultimately, it is the story of the type of proud, resilient farming family which is prepared to fight unceasingly and unsparingly to protect a birthright that is beyond price.
