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.

"It was forty years ago today" that Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles was released, an LP which changed the face of popular culture and continues to top public and critical polls of the greatest albums ever made. The Act You've Known for All These Years reconstructs the life and times of Sgt. Pepper, the cultural backstory of the band and rock's turbulent early adulthood. Weaving the activities of the Beatles in with those of their contemporaries and rivals -- notably Bob Dylan, the Beach Boys and Pink Floyd -- heralded music critic Clinton Heylin reveals the inspirations and explodes the myths behind this talismanic, iconic album -- and "the summer of love" itself. In addition, the book surveys what happened next, telling the history of the LP's "afterlife" from 1967 to the present day. Featuring interviews both with those who were there at the time and those who followed in the Beatles' wake, The Act You've Known for All These Years is the definitive book on the defining LP of the pop era.
