[iii]-lvi, 1252, [8] pages. Blue cloth with gilt to front and spine. Boards and spine entirely detached from text-block in one piece though with splitting to both hinges. Boards rubbed and spotted [this is not mold - there is no predominant odor]. Text is securely bound but is lacking front endpaper and title page. The first leaf (somewhat grubby) is page iii: Preface to the First Edition. There is a gift inscription at the head of that page. Light foxing throughout and some offsetting from the plates to facing page, but generally clean. All ten plates / fold-outs are present, including Illustration 1: South Pacific Currents which is called for opposite title but is here bound in at page 1160. The other 9 illustrations are: Views in Port Famine and Admiralty Sound / View of Mount Sarmiento / View of Wollaston Island, Cape Horn / Views of Cape Horn, Cape Spencer, False Cape Horn, Cockburn Channel, &c. / Chart of the Fiji Islands / Winds of the Pacific Ocean / Magnetic Variation and Dip / Bottom Chart / Passages in the South Pacific Ocean. After the comprehensive Index at rear an Abridged Catalogue of Charts and Nautical Works published by Richard Holmes Laurie appears, as well as a list of Findlay's Nautical Directories and an advert for Oliver's Shipping Law Manual Sixth Edition by W. Mills Roche. Due to weight, shipping outside Canada will be more expensive than our default quote: please inquire.…

Store description
Since 1977 The Odd Book has bought and sold interesting books and ephemera... and some apparently not that interesting. We're a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of Canada, and thereby affiliated with the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. At the store in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and online since '98, Jim Tillotson (founder) and Jim Gow (proprietor) combine their years of experience and occasional stupidity to provide a pretty good place to browse. Thanks for stopping by, and don't hesitate to be in touch.…

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.
