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.

As the storms of the 2008 financial crash started to blow, Isabelle Fremeaux and Jay Jordan embarked on a journey across Europe searching for post-capitalist utopias. Deserting the metropolis and their academic jobs, they rediscovered their art and activism in an autonomous zone called the ZAD, or 'Zone to Defend'.

A place French politicians had declared 'lost to the republic', the ZAD was a messy, muddy, imperfect but extraordinary canvas of commoning. Its inhabitants illegally occupied 4,000 acres of wetlands earmarked for an airport. It is where, in 2018, a 40-year-long struggle for autonomy snatched an incredible victory, defeating the capitalist development project through a powerful cocktail of creation and resistance, building and fighting.

This is a story of adventure, where art, activism and everyday life became truly entangled; and the discovery that the more you inhabit somewhere, the more it inhabits you. It blends rich, raw eyewitness accounts with theory, inspired by a diverse array of approaches, from neo-animism to revolutionary biology, insurrectionary tracts to radical art history.
