Stockholm, December 1999. Madame Zoia, artist and Russian-born aristocrat, is dead. She leaves behind a house full of paintings, a collection of private papers, and a legend. of Tsarist Russia - its faith and its mystery. Her dramatic escape from the Revolutionary torturers of the Lubyanka, an artistic journey that took in the teachings of Vassily Kandinksy and an unfailing ability to command the devotion of beautiful men: these are the ingredients of a mythology that is about to be translated into cold, hard cash. Zoia's death has suddenly made her work highly collectable; her opulent paintings on gold as enigmatic as their creator. exhibition, his task proves far from simple. Zoia's private papers hint at an existence of betrayal, sexual predation and despair. Elliot, whose life is also touched by darkness, plunges into Zoia's life and dazzling work.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
