St.Petersburg(Places and History)
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.

Created by Peter the Great from nothing but his wish to make it a capital city without equal, modern and magnificent, Saint Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) has more than satisfied its creator's expectations. The soul of this town-planning caprice-turned-reality is revealed in this book - the bridges of unrivalled grace, the river walkways watched over by a stone bestiary of sphinxes and lions, the magnificent gardens, and the three million works kept in the palace-museum of The Hermitage. The soul of St. Petersburg can also be found in the words of its famous writers and poets and in the music by great composers which resound in the city's theatres. When all is said and done, Saint Petersburg exists in the eternal and universal spirit of art. Places and History: celebrating the world's most beautiful cities and its most fascinating and exotic regions. Celebrating their historic and cultural importance, and their natural beauty. The history of each location is shown in original prints and paintings. The modern scene is explored in glorious colour photographs and with a travel writer's experienced eye.
