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.

"Salford, 1983. Lorraine Quick is a single mum, a member of a band going nowhere fast and Personnel Officer at Salford's grim Memorial Hospital. A new General Manager position is being introduced, someone to steer the institution towards Margaret Thatcher's lofty vision for the NHS. The hospital's top brass are all vying for this new role and Lorraine will be pivotal in selecting the successful candidate, thanks to her recent training in psychometric testing. A deliberate substitution of a flu vaccine for a lethal dose of anaesthetic reveals a killer is at work. Lorraine's suspicions turn towards the top brass vying for the new role - could the personality tests lead her to the killer? Sharp Scratch takes readers behind the scenes of a sprawling hospital, to the places the public does not see and would not want to, where clashes between politics and personalities can be fatal."--
