See photos for condition details. Hardcover, decorative heavy weave cloth boards with paper labels on front and spine. Labels show wear and label on spine is barely readable. Cloth is also spotted and soiled. Interior binding is very bad in spots with a complete binding break at page 48/49 to where the book is only being held together by the exterior cloth. There are also several other small hinge cracks though hinges at boards are still okay. NOTE: This is also an ex-library edition and is stamped in three places (front pastedown, front end page, title page) which reads: "St. John's Preparatory Seminary for the Franciscan Friars of Atonement". The rear end page and pastedown shows where a date card and pocket were glued in. If that was not enough the front end page is also embossed in the upper right corner from the original merchant that appears to read: "Jules A, Menesse & Co., Santa Cruz, Bombay Suburbs". What makes this book unique and still collectible is the nearly full page inscription on the front end page: "To Very Rev. Father Raphael Francis S. A. From His grateful and devoted + Francis Tiburtius Roche, Bishop of Tuticorin, June 12, 1942 - (??)ast of (???) Sacred Heart". Bishop Roche is the first Bishop of the Tuticorin Diocese and also the also the first Indian Bishop of the Latin Rite. Despite the severe hinge issues the book is complete and attached. Stated second edition of November 1941 on the copyright page. Copyright page also shows library numbers written in pencil and 4242 written in pen.…

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.
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.

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.
