Book Condition Explainer

★★★★★ "New Condition"

Books in brand new condition — the same quality you would expect when purchasing new from a bookstore.

★★★★☆ "Perfect Condition"

Books that present as brand new, with no marks, stains, or visible wear. Pages may show very slight natural discolouration due to age, but overall appearance remains near-perfect.

★★★☆☆ "Fantastic Condition"

Pre-loved books that remain in excellent reading condition. May show very minor wear to the cover or edges from gentle handling. No spine creases unless specifically noted in the listing.

★★☆☆☆

We specialise exclusively in near-new books. Titles with significant wear, heavy creasing, or noticeable damage are not included in our collection — meaning you won’t find typical worn second-hand copies here.
CONDITION: BRAND NEW
PAPERBACK EDITION

What would you change if you could go back in time?

In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time.

In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer's, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.

But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .

Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s beautiful, moving story explores the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?
