Exterior shows scuffing and soiling in leather is worn. Leather is also splitting at the top and bottom hinge points, edges and corners show bumps/wear. The interior binding is good and there are no hinge issues at the boards. Marbled end pages and pastedowns in front and rear are free of any bookplates or library markings. The title page has a name stamped twice along the top edge, no other markings found in the book, their handwriting. Paper is toned due to age and there is some scattered foxing and spotting present. The front board has some wiggle to it because of the splitting of the leather on the exterior, but the interior hinges are holding well.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

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.
