paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Condizione: Used. In an age where powdered wigs and elaborate patches were not just fashion statements but essential components of one?s identity, Georgette Heyer?s "Powder And Patch" emerges as a delightful relic of whimsy and irony. Set against a backdrop of romance and social posturing, this novel invites readers to witness the extravagant ballet of Regency society, where love is as fickle as a gentleman?s neckcloth and as intricate as a lady?s lace. But do not be fooled?this isn?t merely a frothy tale of courtship; it?s a wry commentary on the absurdity of appearances, where the characters engage in a spirited competition to outwit both their hearts and their wardrobes. Once upon a time, when one?s worth was often measured by the ability to drape a patch just so?preferably in a shade that would complement one?s complexion?Heyer grants us a peek into this world of sartorial splendor. Our protagonist, a dashing young man with more ambition than sense (and perhaps a little too much hair product), finds himself tangled in a web of societal expectations and romantic entanglements that would make even the most astute fashionista raise an eyebrow. Dare I say, it?s a tale where ?powder? might just refer to more than just the makeup applied with a light hand. Readers will find themselves delightfully perplexed by the book?s curious intersections between fashion and romance. As characters engage in the grand sport of ?who wore it better??, you might wonder if the real contest is for love or the crown of ?Best Dressed at the Ball.? Expect scandalous ballrooms, whispered gossip, and an examination of the oft-unspoken rules of romance that govern the universe of powdered wigs and embroidered cuffs. Will our hero learn that true charm lies not in the gloss of his facade but in the depths of his heart? Spoiler alert: the answer may or may not be hidden beneath layers of silk and a particularly dandy waistcoat. Come for the snappy dialogue, stay for the satirical undertones that make you question your own wardrobe choices. After all, who among us hasn?t experienced a moment in front of the mirror, pondering whether the right shade of rouge could make all the difference? By the time you reach the final page, you might find yourself questioning your own patch (or lack thereof) and what it says about you. In a world so focused on the external, Heyer challenges us to consider what really lies beneath the surface?quite literally, in some cases. As you traverse the pages of this delightful text, prepare for a vibrant cast of characters, each crafted with such precision that they may just leap off the page and into your life, demanding your attention in a way only Regency-era gentlemen and ladies can. They come equipped with quirks, foibles, and an affinity for the occasional bon mot that would make Oscar Wilde nod in approval. From the dashing, brooding leads to the comically misguided side characters, each one adds a layer of intrigue to the social tapestry that Heyer weaves with masterful flair. Condition: This particular copy of "Powder And Patch" has seen more adventures than the average thrill-seeker. With dog-eared pages and the faint scent of antiquity, it possesses the charm of a well-loved book that has been cradled in the hands of countless readers. Expect a few blemishes and the occasional ink smudge, but isn?t that just part of the allure? After all, who wouldn?t want a book that?s lived a life as rich and varied as its storyline? So, if you?re ready to wade through a world of powder and patch, where romance is as fashionably fraught as a Regency ball, then seize this opportunity to add a little Heyer to your shelf! Remember, life is far too short to wear boring outfits or read uninspired literature. Grab this one from Crappy Old Books and elevate your reading experience?if only to ensure that everyone knows you?re in the know about the ever-elusive art of love and fashion. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS.
