★★★★★ "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.

If you were charmed by The Curious Incident, laughed with Eleanor Oliphant and cried over A Man Called Ove, you will love Ricky Bird.
‘No one loved making forts more than Ricky. A fort was a place of safety and possibility. It shut out the world and enclosed her and Ollie within any story she wanted to tell …’
Ricky Bird loves making up stories for her little brother Ollie almost as much as she loves him. The imaginary worlds she creates are wild and whimsical places full of unlimited possibilities.
Real life is another story. Ricky’s father has abandoned them and the family has moved to a bleak new neighbourhood. Worse still, her mother’s new boyfriend, Dan, has come with the furniture.
But Ricky Bird is a force to be reckoned with. As the mastermind of so many outlandish plots, imagination is her best weapon to restore her world to rights. As her father used to say, if you can spin a good yarn you can get on in life.
Ricky knows that better than anyone but despite her best efforts everything in her world starts to spiral out of control. Until a gypsy prediction that someone will come along – a he or a she who is like a gift – comes true.
But no one, not even Ricky, could imagine the consequences.
Beautifully written, heartbreakingly funny and deeply moving, this book has already been compared to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Lost and Found, Shuggie Bain, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and A Monster Calls. But Ricky’s story is all her own – and it will stay with you long after the last page.
