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.

In a world at war, only love can keep you alive …

Of the millions of soldiers who fought in the Great War, this is the story of just one: a Scottish soldier who finds hell on earth in the trenches of northern France.

Davey Muir volunteers for the Great War, innocently willing to do his duty. But nothing prepares him for the brutality of trench warfare in the build-up to the battle of Loos in September 1915.

Determined to survive the war and return to his wife and child, Davey sees pals killed before the battle has even begun, then he goes over the top into a fog of smoke, poison gas and a storm of machine-gun fire.

Will he survive?

Can he make it home with his humanity intact?

Will there be anything left of the man he once was?

Based on a true story, There Was A Soldier tells the remarkable story of a man facing extraordinary danger and moral choices that have far-reaching consequences for the family he left behind.

Buy There Was A Soldier today and join Davey as he faces the ultimate challenge in this heart-warming story.
