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.

The remarkable true story of the bestselling author of The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul, and the real women she met in Afghanistan
'Composed of heartbreak, hope, poignancy and candour' LA TIMES
In a little beauty school in the war zone of Kabul, a community of women comes together, all with stories to tell.
DEBBIE, the American hairdresser who co-founds the training salon. As the burqas are removed in class, curls are coiffed and make-up is applied, Debbie's students share with her their stories - and their hearts.
MINA, forcibly married to a man in repayment of a family debt and threatened with having her child taken away.
ROSHANNA, a tearful young bride terrified her in-laws will discover she's not a virgin.
And NAHIDA, the prize pupil who bears the scars of her Taliban husband's approval.
In the Kabul Beauty School, these women and many others find a safe haven and the seeds of their future independence.
From the bestselling author of THE LITTLE COFFEE SHOP OF KABUL, this is an eye-opening, inspiring and enthralling true story.
