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.

Product Description
Poetry. Rob MacKenzie is an analytical artist. His vibrant language expresses the impact of love and landscape on his alert senses. This writer has an appetite and gulps for lingering vapours; reaches for the scales of a saithe. His knack of tuning-in to the rhythm of groundswell is awesome: 'Nothing has the time of Mudro's loom.' He probes regrets and opportunities; departures; the rural sprays of Lewis; the urban clashes of Cambridge, Edinburgh, Stornoway. But he is fundamentally positive in his restless linguistic energy. At times that verve seems out of control but better that -- surely -- than tame verse. And when his analysis reacts totally with language, the resultant spray of words could only be Rob MacKenzie's -- Ian Stephen.
