paperback. Zustand: 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.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 320 pages. DJ slightly shelf wornA unique study, linking social history with architecture and garden design, t his is an intriguing and detailed account of the ornamental garden structures wh ich were created for the French monarchy and royal circles from the late 1600s t o the Revolution in 1789. These morceaux d'architecture, which we call pavilions , became a distinctive, highly accomplished art form appealing not only to royal ty and members of the court circle, but also to the bourgeoisie. As well as comp lementing and enriching the gardens in which they were sited, these charming str uctures not only served as mises-en-scene for extravagant parties but also provi ded hideaways from the unremitting protocol which still governed at Versailles a nd among the aristocracy.Eleanor DeLorme, in writing of the activities of th e court and their use of pavilions, has incorporated much entertaining anecdotal material which highlights her subject matter and enlivens her narrative. The bo ok sheds a different perspective and new light on a much misunderstood period an d under-researched subject, while the author's scholarship is reflected in an ex tremely readable, generously illustrated text. Her book will therefore appeal to a wide and varied readership.…
