Catalogue Note An exceptional, unblemished copy of Tania Branigan’s highly acclaimed debut. Winner of the prestigious Cundill History Prize 2023 and shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction, this volume remains in pristine, publisher-fresh condition. It features crisp, uncreased softcovers, a perfectly rigid, unread spine, and immaculate, bright internal pages completely free of toning or handling marks. Ideal for both collectors and premium retail stock.

Stationed in Beijing for The Guardian, Tania Branigan delivers an indelible, haunting exploration of the Cultural Revolution and its enduring psychological scars on modern China. Through deeply personal, rarely heard oral histories—from a 13-year-old Red Guard to a silenced composer facing death—Red Memory uncovers forty years of state-enforced amnesia and personal trauma. It examines how a brutal decade of betrayal and fractured trust continues to secretly propel and shape the soul of Chinese society today.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
