Sorting the PrioritiesAmbassadress and Beagle Survive Diplomacy

Condition: Poor Condition — £7.65

Poor Condition — £7.65

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.

Contrary to public opinion, dressing up like Christmas trees and quaffing litres of alcohol are actually the least amusing part of the diplomatic scene. The real humour lies underneath: a staid German Ambassadress earnestly discussing her fears, over a ladies' tea, that the Embassy's new laser loos will render her guests impotent if they misfire; a highly respected Ambassador relaxing on a nudist beach springing to attention to answer a call from his Foreign Minister. Or a disreputable Beagle, the only one in serious need of diplomatic immunity, doing her bit to complicate bilateral relations wherever she happens to be posted. Sandra Aragona describes the dilemmas of the English wife as she endeavours not to wreck her husband's career and represent her adopted country with charm and forbearance whilst Holding onto A Life. The irrepressible Beagle and a seductively over attentive Military Attache' suspected of selling secrets to the Russians hardly help matters.
