Original Cloth. First Thus. Embossed cover indicates that this volume is part of "Peterson's Uniform Edition of The Complete Works of Mrs. Ann S. Stevens." Stephens (1810-1886) was born in Connecticut, but began her literary career in Portland, Maine with her husband Edward (they co-founded and edited a monthly literary periodical), and eventually became one of the best-known writers on the New York City scene after moving there in 1837. She made a comfortable living writing serial and "dime" novels, and compiled "A Pictorial History of the War for the Union" during the Civil War. Cover extremities moderately-to-heavily worn; cover cloth irregularly rubbed, faded, and discolored; moderate vertical crease to centerpoint of rear cover. Spine somewhat cocked, but binding intact. Prior owner name, date on front endpaper. Light-to-moderate irregular foxing throughout text; light dampstain to most of text pages, originating at upper margin of page 78 and gradually enlarging throughout rest of text, affecting upper half of pages. A flawed but serviceable copy of this scarce volume.…

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
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 The Curiosity Book Shop, Hardwick, Massachusetts, 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.
Shipping terms
Prices include Media Rate postage in U.S. Although overseas shipping rates are often charged as they appear in the matrix, the quoted rates are guidelines only; we determine the exact cost for shipping of each order.
Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
We are happy to accommodate buyers who wish to include extra insurance and/or other post office tracking services, but these services are at the buyer's expense, unless stated in the book description(we insure some items). [Please note that filing a successful USPS insurance claim with necessary proof is a rigorous process with a dubious outcome.]
