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.
To Sarah Hollis and her flatmates a ramshackle villa in the French Pyrenees seemed to offer the perfect holiday: romantic, restful, remote -- that was how the advertisement described the Villa Abercrombie.
Sarah went ahead of the others in her own little car. She reached the villa alone. On the way she had met by chance, a man called Arthur Crook, though she could scarcely believe his assertion, made with hearty and cozy vulgarity, that he was by profession a lawyer. A time would come when Sara would have need of Crook's services. . .
The villa reminded Sarah of the House of Usher, and the events that befall her there revived the terrifying comparisons. Sarah pegged herself a girl of spirit -- and spirit was the quality most needed to save her from the ruthless criminals in whose schemes she became involved.
Set in the deep countryside of France, this exciting story tells of Sarah's dangerous predicament, reveals a complex and wicked plot, and shows Arthur Crook in roaring action to foil the villains.
