Hi, Thank you for your enquiry. Some books are published under the same ISBN number in more than one country. For example a book might be published in the US, UK and Australia with the same ISBN number. Since the ISBN is the same, the contents of the book are the same. We can confirm that all items on our site will be new items. We do also offer the chance for sellers to list second hand items with us. These items offered will show as “New or Used” with a link. You will in many cases, be offered the item new or second hand should a seller also list it. Kind regards, Catherine
