School TiesGood And Bad at Games; Dutch Girls

Format: Paperback

Condition: Poor Condition — £1.00
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.

"At the most formative and turbulent time of their lives, five percent of our male adolescents go into exile, locked into the cold, badly equipped edifices of the single-sex boarding school. William Boyd's wonderfully comic and darkly questioning screenplays, Good and Bad at Games and Dutch Girls, re-create with painful intimacy the farce and bravado, the rigid codes and the sometimes absurdly tragic pretensions of that most extraordinary of forcing grounds. This edition also contains William Boyd's own candid memoir of his schooldays."--Back cover
