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.

In 1906 Edith Holden wrote her Nature Notes which, when published in 1977 as The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, captured the imagination of the reading public all over the world. In the Edwardian Lady, Ina Taylor has brought together a unique collection of photographs, paintings and momentoes of the Holden family which tell the story of Edith's life, and the background against which she developed her talents. Brought up in the new and exciting industrial centre of Birmingham in the last years of the Victorian age, the remarkable Holden family participated to the full in the expanding artistic and cultural life of the city where William Morris and Walter Crane were her conetmporaries.nnThe story follows Edith to Scotland, where she studied then to Dartmoor and finally to London, where she carried on her painting and illustrating in Chelsea after her marriage to the sculptor Ernest Smith, and where she lived until her tragic death by drowning in 1920.
