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.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Having already pedalled 18,000 miles from Britain to Beijing, Charlie Walker's homeward leg carried him a further 26,000 miles through Central Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
The two-and-a-half-year journey spanned the mountains and deserts of former Soviet Republics, Afghanistan on the fearful brink of foreign withdrawal, and remote corners of the Congolese jungle. From hiking through sandstorms in the Gobi desert to barrelling down rapids in a dugout canoe, this perilous adventure, and Charlie's many encounters along the way, gives insight into the past, present, and future of often-overlooked places during periods of great change.
On Roads That Echo deftly achieves the delicate balancing act of relating an impressive and gruelling odyssey while also colourfully portraying the lands and lives encountered with empathy, perception, and a wealth of background knowledge.
"A first class adventure by a first class adventurer - packed with compelling incident and insight."- BENEDICT ALLEN
"An epic adventure, told candidly and vividly. Charlie's words make me want to go back and experience these places with the same depth."- MARK BEAUMONT
"A mammoth journey that makes me yearn for the formative freedom of the open road."- ALASTAIR HUMPHREYS
