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.

Nigel Forde is a natural poet. There's no sense of striving after effect. It's obvious that both experience and thought make their impact on him in a rich mixture of imagery, rhythm and structure that enables them to be carried to us effortlessly.
Arnold Wesker
A Map of the Territory reflects Nigel Forde's fascination with things in the process of change: music, the momentary insight, twilight rather than night or day. Written over a period of years, the poems meditate on memory and landscape: it is in the unremarkable and evanescent that our lives find their greatest meaning. The book's two central sequences, 'A Map of the Territory' and 'Touchstones', express a way of remaking memories in language. 'Touchstones' is a Hungarian sonnet sequence: each sonnet begins with the last line of the one before, exploring the creative possibilities of strict poetic forms. 'A Map of the Territory' itself attempts to stay true to events as well as to what distance has made of them. The collection maps both a landscape and the mind that it has shaped.
