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.

Understand seminal Korean minimalist painter Park Seo-Bo through this double-volume autobiography and graphic novel
Internationally acclaimed Korean artist Park Seo-Bo (1931-2023) pursued a meditative practice of emptying the self through repetitive mark-making in his paintings. Through this repetition, the act of making becomes a spiritual discipline. Best known for his Écriture series and mastery within the Dansaekhwa movement, the artist used abstraction to examine the unique cultural traumas endured by himself and his family living through the devastating Japanese occupation and Korean War.
This two-volume slipcased set presents a distinct perspective on the artist's life and artistic philosophy. The first volume is an unfiltered autobiography drawn from Park's own meticulous records going back to his birth and up to the late '70s, featuring contributions from his son, Park Seungho. The second volume illuminates the passionate story of the artist's life through a graphic novel, designed in an accessible and engaging format.
