Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
New - a brand new book
Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.
"L'auteur a vécu très souvent ailleurs : deux ans en Garabagne, à peu près autant au pays de la Magie, un peu moins à Poddema. Ou beaucoup plus. Les dates précises manquent. Ces pays ne lui ont pas toujours plu excessivement. Par endroits, il a failli s'y apprivoiser. Pas vraiment. Les pays, on se saurait assez s'en méfier. Il est revenu chez lui après chaque voyage. Il n'a pas une résistance indéfinie. Certains lecteurs ont trouvé ces pays un peu étranges. Cela ne durera pas. Cette impression passe déjà. Il traduit aussi le Monde, celui qui voulait s'en échapper. Qui pourrait échapper ? Le vase est clos. Ces pays, on le constatera, sont en somme parfaitement naturels. On les retrouvera partout bientôt... Naturels comme les plantes, les insectes, naturels comme la faim, l'habitude, l'âge, l'usage, les usages, la présence de l'inconnu tout près du connu. Derrière ce qui est, ce qui a failli être, ce qui tendait à être, menaçait d'être, et qui entre des millions de "possibles" commençait à être, mais n'a pu parfaire son installation..." Henri Michaux.
