123 pages. Measures 6 x 5 inches. Top edge gilded. Parchment wraps lightly soiled; interior clean and unmarked; binding is sound. A remarkably well preserved example of this uncommon account of travel in the Canadian Maritimes. One page corner turned down, p. 16, en route to Grand Pre by train, at which point we read: ".her thin face showing by its glum looks, the disapproval that all these Canadians seem to feel when confronted by energetic and hungry folk from 'the States'. Nothing but the most servile flattery and undignified entreaties can melt the Maritime Province heart. Of course, silver must not be forgotten; but it is hopeless even then to expect to accomplish your purpose, if it bears the stamp of the $, and not Victoria's profile. This restaurant cerberus finally yielded to our entreaties.".

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.…

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

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.
