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.

"Some poets live deep back, quietly, in far places, still. I love the poetry of my friend, John Phillips. He is a master of the compressed, cut lyric." -Kent Johnson.
"John Phillips writes with a precision, balance & grace that calls to mind the very best of Louis Zukofsky's short poems, or Creeley's early period, or Lorine Niedecker's work. At his best, Phillips is absolutely dazzling." -Ron Silliman (On Language Is)
"These poems have no extraneous cargo, they are tight as a duck's butt. And smart.
You could write most of these astute and pristine poems on a post-it note and carry it in your pocket for later use." -Michael Dennis (On Shape of Faith)
"Perhaps Phillips' greatest accomplishment is how he cast out words that create a reality that, nonetheless, evoke that reality that existed pre-words. I am touching quite briefly on the many marvels within the book's pages. I recommend you look for this book and inhabit it for yourself. You'll come out of the experience more enlightened than before you began it." -Eileen Tabios (On Shape of Faith)
