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.

L'Emploi du temps, le deuxième roman de Butor, qu'il commence à écrire pendant l'hiver 1954, se présente comme un récit policier. À Bleston, ville inspirée de Manchester, Jacques Revel, chargé de la correspondance avec la France aux établissements Mattews and sons, relate par écrit les événements qui lui sont arrivés au cours des huit derniers mois. Le récit n'est pas linéaire mais brasse des strates temporelles différentes, faisant référence au canon, une des structures fondamentales de la polyphonie. Dans la première partie, qui se déroule au mois de mai, le narrateur décrit ce qui s'est passé au mois d'octobre de l'année écoulée ; dans la seconde, il rapporte les faits du mois de novembre précédent mais aussi ceux du mois en cours, celui de juin et ainsi de suite, selon une architecture extrêmement complexe, qui conduit Michel Butor à rédiger jusqu'à cinquante fois un même passage.
