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.

Published on the occasion of the first solo exhibition by Birmingham-born fashion designer Osman Yousefzada (Ikon Gallery, 6 June - 29 June 2018). A leading light of London Fashion Week, Osman works at the intersection of art and fashion, combining his multi-disciplinary design practice with a strong sense of social commentary. His style combines haute couture techniques and fabrics with a clear perception of modernity. Osman's work has developed from a place where he considered himself to be 'a product of multicultural England' and is shaped by a clear awareness of political contexts. The installations in the book and exhibition feature imported garments made by low-wage workers for 'fast fashion' in the West. A tent-like structure covered in delicate hand-sewn embroidery, is adjacent to an evocation of an 'immigrant's bedroom' - inspired by his Afghan/Pakistani family's experiences - full of furniture and decoration signifying cultural displacement.
