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.

Review
I have always been interested in studying the Social Sciences but it was such a common degree that I didn't know which university I should be looking at. The top Universities Guide is an ideal reference for universities world wide. It really helped me to narrow down my search and gave me a starting point as to the different universities I should be looking at. It would have been even more helpful if the Social Sciences had been broken down into specializations, but the guide did give me enough information to work with. It's clear, the information is easy to find and having the contact details of most of the world's universities in one place is probably my favorite feature. Now, I'm planning my university education in the US but I hope to be able to include a semester abroad at another of the top universities that I found in the guide! --Stella Bergen - Student, Connecticut, USA
