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.

'A compelling vision of where the internet should go and how to get there.' Sam Altman, CEO, OpenAI

The promise of the internet has been stolen.

Over the last decade, a handful of giant companies like Facebook and Google have seized control of the web - sapping its dynamism and taking its profits for themselves.

But there is a way to take it back.

Here, a leading Silicon Valley investor argues that blockchains - the radically free and democratic new type of software design that underpins 'web3' - could return financial and decision-making power to the internet's users. For the first time, we won't just read and write on the internet - we will own it, too.

'A must for anyone who wants to better understand the real potential of blockchains and web3.' Bob Iger, CEO, Disney

'The most elegant and sophisticated argument for blockchain to date . . . Shines as a history of computing and the internet.' Fortune
