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.

Against the backdrop of peaceful south-west England, complex characters make choices which often lead to tragic results. Spirited Bathsheba in Far From the Madding Crowd must choose between three suitors; her choice provokes disaster. Henchard -- the mayor of Casterbridge -- loses everything through an act of selfishness and cruelty, yet he commands sympathy as much as condemnation. Beautiful, vulnerable Tess in Tess of the D'Urbervilles is betrayed by two men. Her revenge shocked many readers in the 1890s, and a century later his portrayal of victim turned avenger still justifies Hardy's belief that this was his finest novel. These three key novels explore the struggles of human beings with their own nature as well as against forces beyond their control. All demonstrate not only Hardy's extraordinary sympathy for his characters, but also his unique and gentle sense of the absurdity underlying much of their sorrow.
