See photos for condition details. Hardcover, beveled cloth boards show extensive spotting, which is mainly loss to the finish on the cloth. The spine has some small holes near the center and edges and corners show bumps/wear. On the rear board, hinge area, there is a shiny spot in the outside gutter from glue. The internal binding of the text pages is very good and pages are tight but the front hinge is cracked in the rear hinge shows a somewhat sloppy glue job where someone tried and attempted repair. No signatures or bookplates present, no library markings. The only handwriting found in the book is on the rear end page, where you can see some arithmetic was done in pencil and then later partially erased. Pages are toned due to age and there is some spotting and foxing present. Found between the pages is a minor piece of ephemera (not pictured): it appears to be a blank receipt from W. R. Robbins Grocer in Sylvan Lake, FL. It is missing the upper right corner but is otherwise in unused condition. It has been placed in a glassine envelope so it will not react with the paper of the book and has been put back in at page 461, where it was originally found.…

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 Yesterday's Book Shop, CORVALLIS, Oregon, 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.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
