Catalogue Note:A immaculate copy of Robert Macfarlane’s multi-award-winning, internationally bestselling masterpiece. Winner of both the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing and the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award, Underland has been widely hailed as a landmark achievement of 21st-century literature. Critics have showered the work with superlative praise; The Sunday Times asserted that "you'd be crazy not to read this book," while The Irish Times observed that Macfarlane "has invented a new kind of book, really a new genre entirely." Free from any shelf-wear, spine creasing, or edge-toning, this pristine and untouched copy represents the highest grade available for modern nature and travel literature collectors.

In Underland, Robert Macfarlane takes readers on an unforgettable, epic descent into the hidden worlds beneath our feet. Traveling across global landscapes and deep into geological history, Macfarlane explores subterranean spaces both natural and human-made. His journey ranges from the labyrinthine catacombs of Paris and the deep "wood wide web" of underground fungal networks in British forests, to the dizzying, ice-blue depths of Greenland's melting glaciers and a high-tech subterranean vault built to seal away nuclear waste for 100,000 years. Blending thrilling adventure writing with profound philosophical insight, Macfarlane examines what humanity has chosen to hide, store, or extract from the earth. The result is a haunting, brilliant, and deeply lyrical exploration of deep time, the environment, and the human heart.

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.
