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.

After four decades of starting out at the low end of the music scene on bass guitar, Alfie Noakes is still down there. Weekend warrior, part-time rock god, call him what you will, and drummers will. Fortunately, he’s taken time out from playing Mustang Sally, Brown Eyed Girl et al, and not playing any AC/DC, to tell us all about his journey, in this often hilarious book. If you’ve ever played in a covers band, or hope to, or are just curious about this world of theirs, get reading.As well as the escapades, disasters, irritations, some highs and an awful lot of fun that he shares with us, he also passes on the knowledge and tips that he’s learnt over this time. These may or may not be helpful, but they too are often just very very funny.As his mother said, after watching him and his band play for the first time – it only took her 35 years – “Actually, you’re not that bad”. He has now returned to the world of amateur musos and pushes on to achieve mediocrity in his mother’s eyes, and also to rattle up another four decades of stories and scrapes for the follow-on book. In the meantime, we can all enjoy this honest, heart-warming, insightful and amusing tome to the bass tone and cover bands.
