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.

"Libraries are filled with books on the Assassins, their history, exploits, and even modern video gamers' infatuation with the ancient cult. However, there remains little discussed on the particular skill sets of an assassin - the modern terrorist, hired killer, or transnational criminal that you are most likely to encounter within the early decades of the 21st century..."

"In Hollywood, your typical 'assassin' represents a breathtakingly beautiful woman or, perhaps, a beefed-up hunk with just enough facial hair to drive women crazy. This violates the first law of covert warfare: do not call unnecessary attention to yourself..."
