How we grade the condition of our books:
New: New directly from publisher or artist.
As New: The book is in pristine, original condition as when published. This grade may apply to older books that have been carefully stored, never shelved, thumbed, or opened.
Fine: A Fine book is nearly As New in condition but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but shows no defects to the book, jacket, or pages.
Near Fine: A book approaching Fine (or As New) but with a couple of very minor defects or faults, which must be noted by the seller
Very Good: A book showing small signs of wear but no tears on either binding or paper. The book maintains its structural integrity, and any defects must be noted by the seller.
Good: Describes a book with average wear while maintaining complete text pages. The book is intact and readable, but shows signs of use. Any defects must be noted by the seller.
Fair: A worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. (which must be noted).The binding and jacket (if any) may show significant wear. All defects should be noted.

Originally published in a limited edition of 100 copies in 2017, A Conversation with the World returns in 2025 with a revised edition. Reflecting the ongoing nature of the project, the new edition features the same 99 photographs as the original, with 20 newly updated images included.
“I think generosity begins with acceptance. You have to be open enough to accept what’s happening in order to understand, to reciprocate. Like the willingness to be open, and wait to see what's happening so you can understand how to respond. I think this is the root of generosity.” _ Lonnie Graham
Lonnie Graham carried out the “A Conversation with the World” project by asking a set of common questions on eight themes—origins, family, life, death, values, tradition, connections, and Western culture—to people he encountered across more than 50 countries on 6 continents. Alongside these conversations, he took portraits of the respondents. Selected at random, the participants freely expressed their personal thoughts based on their own cultural backgrounds and individual perspectives. Through a project that spanned over 30 years, the artist came to realize that, despite generational and cultural differences, the respondents consistently echoed similar sentiments. Through the photographic window of A Conversation with the World, we are invited to rediscover our faith in the ‘common humanity’ that connects us all—and to encounter a broader, more inclusive world.
