- 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.

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.

In September 1939 the head of the Lubavitch hasidic community (also called Habad), Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak Schneersohn, was caught in the German occupation of Warsaw. His hasidim in the USA pressed the government to save the Rebbe. At the same time, some Nazi officials, like Canaris and Wohltat, decided that it would serve German interests to allow the Rebbe to leave for America. The Wehrmacht officer Ernst Bloch, a half-Jew, was instrumental in the Rebbe's release. Notes that many high-ranking Nazi officials protected officers who were half-Jews. Bloch was dismissed from his Army post after 20 July 1944, when repression of "Mischlinge" in the military resumed; he was killed in April 1945. Contends that Schneersohn, as well as all of the Habad leadership, failed to understand the urgency of helping the Jews stranded in Europe; he never deplored the lack of U.S. actions in this regard and he shunned any protest actions. Compares his attitude to that of Rabbi Aharon Kotler, who was ready to cooperate even with the Pope if it were possible to save a single Jewish child.
