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.

The most torrid post-war period in politics has arguably been from 2010 to today. No one is better placed to give an insider's view than Rt Hon Dame Andrea Leadsom MP, who came into Parliament in the wake of both the financial crisis and the expenses scandal to experience at first hand the incredible highs and lows of the events that would follow.

From working cross party on reform of the European Union to the stage at Wembley as a key figure in the Leave campaign, through two leadership campaigns, Cabinet intrigue, squaring off against an increasingly erratic Speaker, and from founding a campaign to give babies the best start in life to securing a landmark Spending Review settlement, Andrea Leadsom's story tracks the incredible highs and lows of a career in politics.

As a lifelong optimist, Andrea argues that political careers don't have to end in failure, and in this very personal and educational account, she gives a real insight into the daily goings on with Spads, Ministers, civil servants, Parliamentary colleagues and the media to argue that political careers don't have to end in failure.

Andrea puts the reader in the room to let them experience what it was really like, how it felt to be in those extraordinary situations, and how, like a game of snakes and ladders, it is often about getting yourself into the right place at the right time.
