  • 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.

The Kinks' 1968 album, The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society, is one of the most treasured records in the history of popular music. Rejected upon its original release, it gathered a cult following as the decades went by, and is now seen as the seminal Kinks LP. Taking place in an idyllic English setting, lead songwriter Ray Davies struck a chord with his songs of china shops, mystic cats, wicked witches and a quaintness which has vanished from our culture. In this book, writer, musician and filmmaker Chris Wade explores the wonderful world Davies and The Kinks created for themselves. "I wonder if it's not what it says on that album, but the images it conjures up, that people like," Ray Davies said of his masterpiece. And those images are explored in this book, a tribute to one of the finest records of all time.
