Condition Report: Near Fine. The dark cloth binding remains exceptionally tight and square, displaying no discernible lean, with only the gentlest hint of shelf-wear to the extreme corners. The gilt lettering on the spine is bright and free from oxidation. Internally, the text block is crisp; the pages remain highly legible and bright, devoid of foxing, with only marginal, uniform age-toning along the text block edges. A neat, standard previous owner's ink inscription, dated 1st August 2013, is present on the front free endpaper. Otherwise, the pages are clean and free of marginalia. The accompanying dust jacket is similarly Near Fine, remaining intact and retaining its original vibrant finish, showing only trivial wear at the extremities.

Catalogue Note: This is a true first edition, first printing of John and Gary Walker's joint autobiography, verified by the presence of the full number line '1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2' on the publisher's imprint page. The volume is presented in its original dark cloth binding with gilt spine tooling.

While later printings and paperback reading copies circulate frequently, encountering a crisp, true first edition in Near Fine condition, complete with an equally well-preserved dust jacket, is increasingly uncommon on the open market.

The presence of a tidy previous ownership signature provides a minor touch of provenance without compromising the book's overall collector appeal.

The Walker Brothers: No Regrets - Our Story offers an intimate, unfiltered look into the meteoric rise and subsequent realities of one of the 1960s' most iconic pop acts. Jointly authored by John and Gary Walker, the memoir dispels long-held myths and provides a firsthand account of the pressures of fame, their complex dynamic with the enigmatic Scott Walker, and the truth behind the screaming fans and chart-topping hits. It stands as a compelling and candid reflection on a definitive era in British pop history.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
