Helena Verbloem, leksikograaf van beroep, gaan na Durban as projek-assistent van 'n man wat alle woorde byeen probeer bring wat in onbruik geraak het in Afrikaans. Dan word daar by haar tuinwoonstel ingebreek en haar geliefde skulpe word gesteel. Die verhaal ontvou rondom die soektog na die gesteelde skulpe. Hierdie soeke raak verweef en verstrengel met die taalbewaringsprojek, die mense wat sy daar leer ken en met haar algemene besinning oor haar lewe - herinneringe aan haar familie, verlore minnaars en liefdes, verliese wat sy gely het. Ek weet wat 'n terapeut sal se. Agter elke verlies le 'n vroeer verlies. Die verlies van my skulpe is 'n voorwendsel ('n jakkalsdraai, 'n verbloeming en bewimpeling) 'n poging van die geslepe psige om die vroeer, pynlike verlies te verdoesel.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
