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.

An Examined Life distills the insights and experiences of 70 years of teaching the Alexander Technique by Marjory Barlow. Barlow is the niece of F.M. Alexander, the founder of the Alexander Technique. In conversation with colleague Trevor Allan Davies, Marjory Barlow speaks in depth about Alexanders character and genius; her experience of the struggles, triumphs and discoveries of his first training course; the strengths and weaknesses of the various streams of Alexander teaching and the historical roots of the schisms and conflicts between them. She also talks extensively about the Alexander Technique in relation to medicine and therapy, and to religious and spiritual practice. With refreshing clarity and common sense, she speaks about the practice of the Alexander teacher and about the nature of the Alexander pupils task in applying these principles in daily life. It is a book for the reader newly introduced to this century old educational method, as well as the more experienced student or teacher.
