paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. 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 would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. 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.…

These are stories that will tip the ground out from beneath your feet.' - Jon McGregor, author of Reservoir 13.'Tricksy, wry, coiled, taut, tender - Cowling's wonderful This Paradise is a celebration of all that short stories can be, might be, and should be.'- Eley Williams, author of Attrib.Praise for This Paradise:'Admirably ambitious in scope, Ruby Cowling explores big themes - climate change and natural disaster, technology and survival - using strange and sometimes fantastical imagery to trace the obscure edges of human experience.'

But we can record too.' Jon Doyle, Review 31'Most stories have their 'home' audience. But when fiction crosses that inner ring, and survives to tell its tale, well - that's art. And This Paradise achieves that handsomely.'Tamim Sadikali, Open Pen. …
