In 1898 the Sanborn-Perris Map Company of New York resurveyed Savannah for the fire-insurance underwriters, who needed to know exactly what they were being asked to insure. The result is the most detailed portrait of the city made to that date: every building drawn to scale at fifty feet to the inch and color-coded for construction - pink for brick, yellow for frame - then annotated with height in storeys, roof type, occupancy, window and door openings, party and fire walls, hydrants, cisterns and steam boilers. The volume opens on a general plan of the city keyed to the numbered sheets that follow, and a second general plan of the cotton warehouses and naval stores yards along the river. From there it works outward: the Savannah River wharves and the Ocean Steamship Company's terminals, cotton presses and guano works; the shops of Broughton and Congress streets; the City Market and the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences; Franklin and St. James squares and the residential blocks around them; Forsyth Place and the Military Parade Grounds; the City Hospital; and Laurel Grove Cemetery at the western edge. Sanborn atlases are among the most heavily used primary sources in American urban history, architectural preservation, genealogy and environmental site assessment, because nothing else records the ordinary built fabric of a city building by building. Complete volumes are scarce - most surviving copies have been broken up and sold off as single sheets. This Exile Books edition reproduces the 1898 volume complete and in full color from the copy in the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress: the title page, the index of streets and specials, both general plans, and all 106 numbered sheets. 112 pages. 8.5" x 11". Full color. Paperback. Printed to order and shipped directly to you ? please allow up to 7 business days before shipment. Satisfaction guaranteed or you can send it back.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ExileBooks, Saint Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
