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.

In June 2018, the Wallace Collection opens its new £1.2 million exhibition space with 'Sir Richard Wallace: The Collector', an exhibition celebrating 200 years since the birth of the museum?s founder, Sir Richard Wallace. The exhibition explores the man, his life and his unprecedented contribution to the nation?s cultural heritage. The supposed illegitimate son of the Fourth Marquess of Hertford, Sir Richard Wallace unexpectedly inherited the Marquess?s dazzling collection of art, an act which was to change the direction of his own life and that of the masterpieces in his care. 00A major international philanthropist and cultural luminary of his time, yet also an enigmatic and private individual, Sir Richard believed in sharing his inheritance with a wider audience. He was also a prominent collector, adding extensively to the Collection prior to his death in 1890.00Exhibition: The Wallace Collection, London, UK (20.06.2018 - 06.01.2019) --
