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.

Considered Professor Peter Townsend's magnum opus, this work on developing the notion of relative poverty has marked his place in the history books. It examines relative deprivation covering a wide range of aspects of living standards, both material and social. It carries an endorsement from Barbara Wootton: ‘This momentous book will rank as the contemporary successor to the classic works of Booth and Rowntree: its case histories alone should put paid to those who still assert that there in no longer poverty in Britain'. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine teaching about poverty today without making reference to Townsend's work alongside that of Rowntree. He has so indelibly influenced our understanding of poverty, that it is difficult to imagine too how the study of poverty would have developed had he not been there to shape it.
