Condition rating

All our books are carefully selected and are in great re-readable condition. They are the kind of books we would love to receive ourselves so you can confidently gift them knowing they are exactly as described. We use actual photos of each book in our listings so you know what you are buying. All books are priced the same, as we believe the value of a book is not in the condition of its cover, but the content of its pages.

Excellent – We’re not even sure if it has even been read it looks that good. Great for gifting, but a sad state for a pre-loved book. These books deserve to be read!!

Great – A book that has been read but treated with care.

Loved – These books have been well read and enjoyed maybe more than once. Cover may be dog-eared or corners of pages have been bent. There may be a name in the cover.

Vintage – They may be musty, but that’s their charm. There may be evidence of the previous owners (inscriptions in the cover, the odd marking etc), it’s their history that makes them more precious, its all part of their narrative. These books are old and show it – and we love them. Open the cover and breathe it all in.
