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.

Martin is not a happy bunny. His boyfriend of four years has run off and left him for a male prostitute. His best friend John is too busy looking for sex on the internet to offer much in the way of support. His gal pal Caroline is convinced that her own boyfriend is a closet case. And to top it all, Martin's hippie father is threatening to come and stay, armed with an entire library of self-help books on how to be gay, happy and free of shame. So Martin does what every out and proud gay man in London is encouraged to do: he jumps head first into hedonism. He joins a gym, and throws himself into the gay club scene, a world of drugs and muscles, hard bodies and harder music, one-night stands and three-way sex. Increasingly desperate in his search for Mr Right, he settles for Mr Right Now. But it isn't long before Martin begins to weary of the shallower aspects of the scene. Can he find the man of his dreams when sex has become a a substitute for love, and pleasure is measured in beats per minute...'

Acclaimed writer Paul Burston's vibrant, bitingly witty first novel will appeal to anyone who's been thrust back into single life.
