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.

Grigson, Geoffrey. Britain Observed. The landscape through artist's eyes. First edition. London, Phaidon, 1975. 23 x 26 cm. 208 pages. Original Hardcover with original dustjacket. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. The landscapes of Britain have been a special source of inspiration to painters from the sixteenth century onwards. Geoffrey Grigson has examined how some seventy artists from Rubens to Victor Pasmore have reacted to the landscapes of England, Scotland and Wales. His approach is emotional rather than art-historical and the result is what he calls ' a book of art and a book of places'. And how different some of the places have become since they were first painted. The artists are arranged roughly chronologically, and brief, entertaining biographies accompany the plates. The final section, consisting of painters comments on their art, tells us how much painters feel about nature.
