A tornado in South Dakota picked up a passenger train, spun it around in mid air, and placed it back on the tracks facing the opposite direction - A man in Mexico was stabbed to death by dry spaghetti during a hurricane - A scuba diver was found at the top of a charred tree, after fire-fighting planes deposited water from a nearby lake on to a forest fire - Three men jumping from a plane without open parachutes landed safely after their fall was broken by a cloud containing hailstones - New York sewers are alive with alligators - Want to hold an audience? Then equip yourself with a good supply of urban myths, those ever popular - if ever unreliable - tests of truth and gullibility. The Book of Urban Myths is an unputdownable collection of runaway rumours for all who enjoy a good yarn, or want to avoid being spun such in the future - a hugely entertaining read that will enlighten the credulous and surprise even the most hard-nosed cynics.

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.
