The Tulip Garden: Growing and Collecting Species, Rare and Annual Varieties, Polly Nicholson — First Edition

Publication: London, Phaidon, 2024

Formatting: 4to, pp. 272.

Condition Report: Good. The original pictorial boards present attractively from the front but exhibit prominent circular grease spot stains and a minor yellow blemish on the rear panel, along with slight rubbing and bumping to the spine extremities and corners. Despite these exterior flaws, the binding remains firm and square, and the internal pages are clean, crisp, and completely free of marks. Issued without a dust jacket.

Catalogue Note: This first edition features extensive, newly commissioned photography by Andrew Montgomery. Phaidon is renowned for its high-quality visual arts and horticultural publications, and this volume serves as a visually striking example of their modern output. As a recently published title (2024), it remains common on the open market.

An inspirational and practical guide to cultivating one of the world's most beloved flowers. Set against the backdrop of Blacklands, the author's beautiful English country garden, organic flower grower Polly Nicholson shares her expertise on raising wild species, historic Dutch and English Florists’ varieties, and popular annuals. Combining rich cultural history with sensible, sustainable gardening advice, this volume is an essential reference for both seasoned horticulturists and passionate tulip lovers.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.
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.
