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.

London during the Thatcher years. A black woman is shot by the police and, in the wake of the mass rioting which follows, Sammy and Rosie Get Laid explores the visit of a third-world politician with a mysterious past to his estranged son, Sammy, and Sammy's social worker wife, Rosie.As Rafi attempts to get to know his son again, he finds out the true nature of Sammy and Rosie's 'open relationship'. But they also find out about him and the forms of 'persuasion' his beliefs have led him to adopt.Sammy and Rosie Get Laid is Hanif Kureishi's follow-up to My Beautiful Laundrette, for which he received an Oscar nomination. His vivid look at sex and politics in Britain today is full of characteristic wit and irony.In addition to the script of this film, this volume contains 'Some Time with Stephen', Hanif Kureishi's account of working on the film with director Stephen Frears.
