paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Navsari Tales is a poignant, picturesque throwback to a time when the Parsi presence in Navsari was vibrant. With empathy and wit, Berjis Desai takes readers on a nostalgic trip into the homes and hearts of a close-knit community, weaving together a mosaic of true stories. A microcosm of all things Parsi, this fast-paced book offers an insider's view of life in Navsari during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—full of esoteric rituals, strange relationships, and richly layered traditions. From cousin marriages to forbidden love, exorcisms to eccentric remedies, heartbreak to hilarity, these tales irreverently span the sacred and the profane, the mundane and the magical. With incandescent prose and an irreverent eye, Navsari Tales captures the spirit of a lost world—equal parts uproarious laughter and moist eyes. Like the ubiquitous batasa biscuit dunked in chai, this collection invites immersion. Sip, savour, and soak it all in. …

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing.
