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.

Poetica 12
`An Unofficial Rilke' is Michael Hamburger's choice from the many miscellaneous poems which Rilke wrote between 1912, when the `Duino Elegies' began to take shape in his mind, and his death in 1926. From Rilke's crisis and post-crisis years Michael Hamburger has translated poems in which Rilke confronted energies or realities that endangered his mastery, or those in which he ventured into territory that was new to him. Some of these poems will seem uncharacteristic to readers whose view of Rilke is based on his more official canon; Rilke's failure to recognize their worth can only be understood in terms of his loss of faith and his sense of disorientation.
In his penetrating and sympathetic introduction Michael Hamburger describes the nature of Rilke's personal and artistic crisis, explores the tensions and cross-currents of his later poetry, and argues persuasively for the revaluation of his miscellaneous poems. Michael Hamburger, poet and critic, is the leading translator of German poetry.
