This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£

Most book sellers on the Internet roam around, buy used books, cut them to make them look new and then sell it as new.

Cut them? What does that man?

Using a paper cutter, aligning the worn pages along the outside edge of the book into a nice looking rectangle

They take a bit off the edges, which, when done right, can make them look new at a first glance
