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.

Whales, dolphins, and porpoises form the fascinating order Cetacea. This easy-to-read introduction to their dazzling diversity contains information on some 85 species. The first section of the book sets the scene for life in the sea by piecing together the lives of whales, dolphins, and porpoises. The second section discusses the species in more detail, dividing them into family groups, with descriptions of cetacean families: right and grey whales, rorquals, sperm whales, beluga and narwhal, beaked whales, marine dolphins, porpoises, and river dolphins.

There is also a quick fact file, bibliography, and index.
