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.

Expressionist painting is truly self-expression. The vivid, unnatural colours and distorted forms spring from the artist's mind, transforming the motif into a magic window into the painter's private self. Lucy Jones has chosen to express above all her feelings and emotions about her own body in its various forms and moods. The result is a series of self-portraits whose intense honesty and unabashed vitality form an unsurpassed body of work. The splendid reproductions of this remarkable series of self-portraits are accompanied by four contributions. The critic Sue Hubbard sets Lucy's work in the context of her life and artistic times. The artist tells her own story, most movingly, in an interview with Judith Collins. Frank Whitford, an eminent critic and art historian, sets Lucy's paintings where they belong, as modern and most worthy additions to a long line of self-portraits. In the best of these, the artists hold up a mirror, not to their faces, but to the soul.
