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.

Le 4ème de couv. indique : "Paru en cinq livraisons, de 1946 à 1958, Paterson est sans conteste le " grand œuvre " de William Carlos Williams, et l'une des bornes majeures de la poésie nord-américaine du XXe siècle. Construit autour de la ville ouvrière du New Jersey qui lui donne son titre, et suivant le cours métaphorique de la rivière Passaic, ce long poème offre le portrait éclaté d'une ville américaine à travers son paysage immédiat, ses scènes contemporaines, mais aussi les multiples strates de son histoire coloniale, culturelle, industrielle... Williams a conçu son ouvrage comme un vaste montage, où alternent séquences versifiées - à la syntaxe tourmentée - et collages de proses quotidiennes : archives locales, coupures de presse, lettres et documents divers... La tension majeure du livre réside bien sûr dans cet écart, entre un projet épique (mais hanté par une déroute historique et sociale) et l'extraordinaire invention dont le poète fait preuve, dans la recherche d'une prosodie visuelle qu'il aura été l'un des premiers à concevoir."
