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.

A collection of haunting short stories from the author of Climbers, Signs of Life and In Viriconium – described by Iain Banks as ‘A Zen master of prose’.
Peter Ebert, obsessed by the record of a 1930s journey through an unknown country, is rescued by a woman whose face is a map. Two holiday-makers return from Tenerife haunted by the trinket-seller who has brought them together. Meanwhile a refugee from the East encounters fear and loathing in the bars and patisseries of Soho, and a young man undertakes a series of random rail journeys decided by the fall of the Tarot cards…
A collection of obliquely fantastic tales, grounded in contemporary reality, into which obtrude flashes of a world beyond our world, a world which would transform the lives of the characters, if only they knew how to find it.
