What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • 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.

Farley Mowat spins fascinating tales from the heritage of the Arctic North. The Snow Walker revives a haunting portrait of a land and its people--where the merciless power of the elements creates unique bonds between men and between men and their world--capturing the essential mystery of the Arctic and of Eskimo lore. All of these stories deal with survival, whether they are fact or fiction, whether they speak of the earliest life in the Arctic or the most contemporary. Each is a powerful piece of writing about people who are threatened with extinction by civilization, by the greed and cruelty of man, and by the rigors of nature. Mowat's stories describe not only the hardships of life in the Arctic and the almost invincible snow, wind, and cold; they also celebrate the beauty of the North and the human endurance and courage that withstand its most fearsome elements. Through its poignant narratives of a way of life that is no more, The Snow Walker is sure to be counted among Farley Mowat's foremost contributions as a writer.--From jacket.
