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.

From the man who made TV criticism an entertainment in its own right comes Visions Before Midnight , a selection from the column hundreds of thousands of devoted fans would turn to first thing on a Sunday morning.Clive James's comic brilliance is displayed here, from the 1972 Olympics ( But your paradigm no-no commentary can't be made up of fluffs alone. It needs flannel in lengthy widths, and it's here that Harry and Alan come through like a whole warehouse full of pyjamas ) to the 1976 Olympics (' Jenkins has a lot to do ' was a new way of saying that our man, of whom we had such high hopes, was not going to pull out the big one ). In between we have 'War and Peace' ( Tolstoy makes television history ), the Royal Wedding ( Dimbling suavely, Tom Fleming introduced the scene ), the Winter Olympics ( unintelligibuhl ), the Eurovision Song Contest ( The Hook of their song lasted a long time in the mind, like a kick in the knee. You could practically hear the Koreans singing it. 'Waterloo . . .' ), and much more.
