by P. D. Hillyard

Format: Hardback

Condition: Poor Condition — £53.81
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.

Arachnophobia has its origins deep in the human psyche and has been commemorated in film, in legend, in art and in nursery rhyme. This book has been designed as an instructive and entertaining antidote to the irrational fear of creepy crawlies, commenting on some of the 35,000 known species of arachnid, including spiders which live at 22,000 feet on Mount Everest, spiders which fly and spiders which can be found under the sea.
