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.

Neil Drinnan's captivating second novel is a meditation on will and chaos. Doc and Dixon are semipartnered men who share a very special house, one of the finest examples of art deco in Melbourne. The builder of this 1924 gem was rumored to have thrown himself from the high turret window after the stock market crash. Does this explain the creepy feeling in the turret rooms? Or the ghostly sightings? Or the ease with which Doc, Dixon, and their roommate, Dung, a Vietnamese-born artist, manage to turn the tables on a gay basher who had attacked Dung? Although Doc is the hub of the household--the principal wage-earner, the father figure--he is being blackmailed by a former patient, cannot engage more than the casual sexual attention of Dixon, and now must contend with a handsome new houseboy, as well as the cover-up of a death. Briskly written, with some of the most closely observed domestic scenes in gay fiction today, Pussy's Bow more than lives up to the promise of Drinnan's debut, Glove Puppet, and may exceed, in some ways, his remarkable follow-up, Quill. --Regina Marler
