Condition: Poor Condition — £2.12
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.

What happens when a team of poets joins a major cultural organisation busily remaking itself ready for the middle years of the 21st century? And what results when you throw a slew of unpredictable geopolitical and social shifts into their path? The answer is a treasure chest of insights. The poems, essays and illustrations within this book find fascination in 50 years of art and artists at the Fruitmarket in the centre of Edinburgh. In their subject matter are the movements of creative work and ideas across borders, the make-up and history of the city, and gothic fantasies of galleries reimagined as mortuaries or as gardens. As well as a temperature check on a remarkable time in a specific place, pulsing through it all is the abundant imaginative energy needed to convince us to make our commitment to new living. With Janette Ayachi, Callie Gardner, Jane Goldman, Iain Morrison, Tom Pow, and Shola von Reinhold.
