They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Very good A pleasing, gardening association copy of the first edition of this posthumously published selection of Gertrude Jekyll's 'articles and notes,' including photographs taken at Munstead Wood; from the library of another celebrated female British garden designer, Rosemary Verey (though, without inscription), famed for developing the garden of Barnsley House, the C17th Cirencester home she shared with her husband David. Rosemary Verey, OBE & VMH (19182001) was an English garden designer and writer, best known for designing and developing the garden at the late C17th Barnsley House, Cirencester, the home she shared with her husband, the architectural historian David Cecil Wynter Verey (1912/131984). With his help, she "transformed the conventional 1930s pleasure garden into a series of themed garden areas held together by a tight architectural structure of alleys, vistas (embellished with decorative statues and artefacts), paved walks, and contrasting open spaces. Influenced by the arts and crafts style of many neighbouring Cotswold gardens, she extended her range through her knowledge of and interest in garden history" (ODNB). Indeed, her own "gradually acquired collection of rare gardening books [including this one], encouraged the layout of a formal knot garden (1975) and a patterned herb garden near the kitchen" (ibid). In the 1980s and 1990s, Verey was "in much demand as a designer" in both the UK & US; her clients included the then Prince of Wales, now King Charles, the Marquess of Bute, Sir Elton John, Princess Michael of Kent and the New York Botanical Garden.…
