Condition: Poor Condition — £4.21
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.

From Library Journal This is a revised and renamed edition of the three-volume Dictionary of Irish Writers , edited by Brian Cleeve (Ireland: Mercier, 1967-1971). The present edition is one volume in two parts: the first lists writers in the English language, the second those in Irish and Latin. Brief biographical sketches are given for more than 1800 authors of fiction and nonfiction as well as compact bibliographies of the authors' primary works. Though special attention is given to present-day writers, over 1500 years of Irish writing are represented. This reference work is essential for identification of major and minor Irish writers and is a vital supplement to the more critical Dictionary of Irish Literature , edited by Robert Hogan ( LJ 9/1/79), which treats only 500 authors.
