Prison is a harsh enough place, but being a foreigner ("farang") in a strange land, and this ordeal becomes a lot more horrifying. "Rotting in the Bangkok Hilton" chronicles T. M. Hoy's descent into the madness, horror, and insanity provoked by South-East Asian prison life. You see from his eyes the bizarre events of daily life in Thai maximum security prisons. Witness from the inside of Chiang Mai Remand and Bang Kwang Prison; the murders, drug overdoses, torture, and cruelty that Hoy witnesses. While attempting to "adjust" to this third-world hellhole, he ends up contracting tuberculosis, and almost loses his life. Hoy's detail places you in his shoes, as you feel the chains around your ankles and the stomach aches from lack of food. You quickly realize that, being given a life sentence, this is how he will be spending the rest of his days. And if he's lucky, he'll die before he really begins to suffer. Hoy's stories are painful and his words are heart-wrenching, and you see first-hand the fear of everyday life that he must live with. Go places you only see in your nightmares; to a world in which few survive, and none emerge unscathed.

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.
