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.

As wages stagnate but living costs keep rising, the pressure on working

people grows more intense. The issue of living standards has become one of

the most urgent challenges for politicians in both Britain and America.

'The squeezed middle' brings together experts from both sides of the Atlantic

to ask what the UK can learn from the US. American workers have not

benefited from growth for an entire generation - the average American worker

earned no more in 2009 than in 1975. Now British workers are undergoing a

similar experience. No longer can they assume that when the economy grows

their wages will grow with it.

This collection brings together for the first time leading economic and

policy thinkers to analyse the impact of different policies on those on

low-to middle incomes and to explain what lessons the UK can learn from

America's 'lost generation'.

This timely book is essential reading for everyone concerned about the

living standards crisis, an issue which could decide elections as well as

shaping the future for millions of working families.
