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.

Born from the collaboration between Yelena Yemchuk and Départ Pour l’Image co-founders, Luca Reffo and Francesca Todde, Mise en Abyme is a spin-off of previous book УYY, Україна Yelena Yemchuk, published in July 2022. If УYY appeared as a daydream in a backward journey from the present to youth, Mise en Abyme continues in the form of a phantom reflection of the gaze into the abyss of imagination. The original narrative – the sequence as of stream of consciousness – is rewritten through the montage of residual images of typographical proofs, enlargements, paintings, and photographs. The process behind the book suggests endless and different versions that could ideally repeat themselves infinitely. Each copy of the book contains a unique and different folded original print, which is 1/8th of a typographic sheet saved from being pulped.
