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.

Doreen Markowitz is funny and fat; she’s not just fat, she is enormous. The reason is simple: she loves food and has done so ever since her Jewish childhood in Cape Town. As Doreen grows up, her parents strive to make her conform to their desired image of a daughter. She endures adolescent humiliation, charm school, specialists and every kind of diet, but nothing seems to spoil her appetite.
At last, love provides an answer. Doreen falls for her psychiatrist and the miracle is effected. She emerges convincingly slim and beautiful, but strangely subdued.
Packed off to London with her deeper problems still unresolved, she scores a second conventional goal: a prosperous marriage to the sinister Geoffrey Bartholomew-Cooper. This, too, turns out to be a sham, and it is only when she discover herself to be a stand-up comedian that the real Doreen finally emerges.
