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.

This is the first revised edition, a new format, of a classic, best selling primer originally published in 1964. Basic Design which has already sold approximately 200,000 copies in the English language, is a clear, authoritative introduction to the basic elements of the plastic arts. Maurice de Sausmarez describes how a student working on his own without art school facilities or expensive equipment can pursue a course of study which will reveal to him the fundamental pictorial elements of all artistic expression, and the dynamic forces contained in these elements. Clarifying a subject about which there has been some confusion of thought, and containing a wide variety of illustrations of students work, the book is of the greatest value to young artists, both professional and amateur. It is a must for all teachers and art students.
