Terry Waite's autobiography was first written in his head while in a Lebanese prison for 1,763 days, four of which were in solitary confinement.

MY GRADINGS New: A new book, never used. As New (AN): Although a used book, it should appear unread with no flaws, just as when it was sold new. Fine (F): Should have no flaws, a perfect copy of a used book. Mint: Another term for Fine. Near Fine (NF): May show a small flaw, such as shelf wear, but nearly perfect and unread. Very Good (VG): The broadest category for used books, this describes any average used book. May have small flaws, and has probably been read, but should appear overall clean and attractive. Good (G): Will probably have significant wear or damage, although is still intact. Suitable for reading, but not necessarily a good gift copy. The old saying in bookselling is "good ain't good." Fair: Another term for Poor or Reading Copy: Heavily worn or damaged, a poor book will be readable but not attractive. Binding Copy: This will be the complete pages of the book, but the binding has been broken or damaged to the point it will need professional rebinding Powered by eBay Turbo Lister Track Page Views With Auctiva's FREE Counter
