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.

Eine Bar ist vielleicht nicht der beste Ort für ein Kind, aber bei weitem nicht der schlechteste. Vor allem das "Dickens" nicht, mit seinen warmherzigen und skurrilen Figuren: Smelly, der Koch, Bob the Copund seine geheimnisvolle Vergangenheit oder Cager, der Vietnam-Veteran. Für den kleinen JR sind sie alle bessere Väter als seiner - wäre er da gewesen. Von ihnen lernt er Mut, Zuversicht und die Gewissheit, dass es nicht nur Gut und Böse gibt, dass Bücher Berge versetzen können und das man an gebrochenem Herzen nicht stirbt. In der Bar hört er zum ersten Mal Sinatra, sieht Baseballspiele im Fernsehen, und trinkt sein erstes Bier. Er lernt auch, dass Träume wahr werden können - wenn man für sie kämpft. Hervorragende Unterhaltung mit einer großen Portion Witz, Emotion und Tiefgang trotz Plauderton - so darf man "Tender Bar von Pulitzerpreisträger J.R. Moehringer zweifellos charakterisieren. Der Text ist gespickt mit Sätzen, die man von Seite zu Seite wandernd aufsammelt, um sie sich tunlichst einzuprägen, da sie in aller Kürze auf charmanteste Weise vermitteln, was im Leben wirklich zählt.
