Condition: Poor Condition — £23.86
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.

'... the best English poet of his generation. Forty poems, five stories (including that extraordinary celebration of panic The Rain Horse), and a play. In them move the ghostly shapes of beasts, predators and prey, the Norsemen, and the damaged Tommies, and all the figures of that mythology through which Ted Hughes communicates his disturbing vision of England and its history.' The Guardian'. . . he is the most powerful and original poet now writing in this country.' A. Alvarez in The Observer'. . . quite the best book by an English poet since Philip Larkin's The Whitsun Wed-dings . . . the passion and exactness with which he looks at skylarks, stones, hare-bells, gnats, ferns and thistles, and makes them his own in an entirely fresh way, is extremely intense and thrilling.' Derwent May in The Times
