The Guinness Encyclopedia
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.

This encyclopedia is divided into the following main sections: The nature of the universe; The restless earth; The living planet; The human organism; The world today; Technology and industry; A history of the world; Religion and philosophy; The visual arts; Music and dance; Language and literature and The countries of the world. Each section is further divided into a series of double-page spreads, each dealing with a key topic in depth.

Also includes an extensive index and a useful system of cross-references and with more than 130 expert contributors and over 30 distinguished advisory editors, the encyclopedia is as authoritative as it is comprehensive. Numerous photographs, paintings, maps, tables and diagrams - combined with a highly readable text - make the encyclopedia both accessible and easy and rewarding to use.
