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.

Rachel Kennedy was a pioneer folk hero. Born in the Warrumbungles in 1845, she was a wild colonial girl who was described by Duke Tritton, the famous bush balladeer of the The Bulletin, as Australia's greatest pioneer woman of them all. And yet we know nothing about her. She caught brumbies, hid bushrangers, went to war with squatter kings, fed starving families during the shearing strikes, worked as a revered bush nurse and midwife, and fought for the underdog after observing the bitter experiences of Aboriginal people and Chinese miners. She also built a lifelong 'sistership' with Mary Jane Cain, an Aboriginal girl who became a pioneer Indigenous right activist, and the story of that powerful friendship intersects the book showing some of the duality of the Australian frontier. Her extraordinary and pioneering life story has never been told. And what a story it is.
