The Aerodrome(20th Century Classics)
Format: Paperback
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.

"First published in 1941, eight years before Orwell's equally prophetic Nineteen Eight-Four, The Aerodrome is probably the only novel of its time imaginatively to understand the dangerous yet glamorous appeal of fascism and the less confident, only half-satisfactory answer of traditional democry. A comedy of high seriousness, the book is subtitled 'a love story', because it is from the incalculable power of love that the Aerodrome — ruthessly efficient and self-sufficient — and the Village, with its sensual muddle and stupidity, have developed. On the one side is the youthful narrator, brought up in the Village; on the other stands the Air Vice-Marshal, an idealist whose satanic pride forces him to reject the world as it is and to attempt to reshape the whole material of human life."--Page 4 of cover.
