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.

Hazel is an archaeologist, working in Unst, on the most northerly coast of the Shetland Isles. Ishabel is a retired professor of botany, and one of the remaining three Shetland witches, along with Maggie the artist who is getting too casual about shape-changing in public, and Avril the wildlife warden with too many birds to guard. Maggie discovers that Hazel has a magical past, and she becomes a Shetland witch. Then Atropos arrives, eldest of the Fates, to look for the shears that she sent into hiding to the ends of the earth thousands of years ago. She has to protect them from Zeus's shocking passion for killing. How will the witches protect the islands from a Fate and Zeus? How will Hazel learn how to do magic again? How will she cope with Tornost, a malignant trow with a penchant for eighteenth-century manners? The Shetland Witch is a novel about magic, sisterhood and learning to be human. Available in paperback and as an ebook.
