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 miniature history of Wales, filled with funny facts and strange true stories
This book contains hundreds of "strange but true" facts and anecdotes about Welsh history. Arranged into a miniature history of Wales, and with bizarre and hilarious true tales for every era, it will interest and delight readers everywhere. It includes information on the earliest prehistoric burial in Europe, which was found in Wales--the skeleton was known as the "Red Lady of Paviland" until scientists discovered that it had, in fact, belonged to a man. Welsh royalty is also discussed, including "Rhodri the Great," Wales' first king, who was killed by a Saxon army, and the second King of Wales--killed by his own men. It also discusses why English armies usually contained Welsh bowmen: a Welsh-fired arrow could--and did--go all the way through armor, leg, saddle, and horse. Welsh bowmen often used English longbows against them, firing them at point-blank range during ambushes.
