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.

What if the biggest risks in business were hiding in plain sight - and only a handful of people knew where to look?

Governance is often invisible. But it's the difference between headlines and handcuffs, between integrity and implosion. In the high-stakes world of FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 boardrooms, chartered company secretaries and chartered governance professionals are quietly steering the governance ship - asking the hard questions, holding the red lines, and keeping companies safe when the stakes couldn't be higher. This book lifts the lid on the boardroom's most guarded realities. Through real-life stories of power struggles, ethical crossroads, near misses and quiet victories, it reveals the unseen influence of those who protect companies from the inside out.

For board directors, aspiring governance leaders, and anyone who believes business should be better - this is your invitation into the side of business you were never meant to see.
