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 in 1938, Nash laments that while machines have opened up more significant amounts of leisure time for the country's citizenry, people use that time for increasingly passive and monotonous theater. He dubs this plague "spectatoritis," warning that it will bring about the downfall of civilization if not curbed. For, he argues, every human needs natural rejuvenation from work or will succumb to various mental and physical ills., Nash writes that we need a "philosophy of leisure" that can guide people to use their spare time in more fulfilling ways.
Out of print for decades, Nash's work is being brought back in the modern age, a time when his words are needed the most.
