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.

Sir Robert Vere "Robni" Darwin was a major figure in midcentury British art. As Rector of the Royal College of Art (RCA) for more than three decades, he re-shaped arts education in Britain, with outstanding results--the RCA's roster of graduates during Darwin's tenure reads like a who's who of British postwar art and design, including such major figures as David Hockney, Peter Blake, and James Dyson.
This book traces Darwin's life, work, and influence, taking him from his wartime work with camouflage through his key role in postwar reconstruction projects and in the sprawling, innovative Festival of Britain in 1951, then on to his decades leading the RCA. Throughout, Henrietta Goodden shows how Darwin translated his artistic understanding to institutional settings, and how his eye for innovation and ability to connect people fueled the creativity of students and administrators alike.
