See photos for condition details. Rare salesman sample copy of the original 1907 publication, bound in full leather with flexible boards. Exterior is in its original state and unrestored. There is where to the leather along edges and the spine is brittle and cracking. Lower outside edge is also darkened and black, almost like it was too close to a heat source. The internal binding is in better condition: there is marbled end pages in front and rear which also has two samples of the various binding styles, one in banded leather and the other in green cloth with label. The book itself is only random pages, mainly the color illustrations with the tissue guards that show descriptions. There is some pulling and spots but everything is still attached. Pages are toned and there is spotting and foxing present, with some areas showing a lot of staining in the gutters. IMPORTANT: this is NOT the entire book - this is a salesman sample that was used to promote purchasing the book. There is no order sheet and the rear, as many salesman copies have. This was likely used in a retail store to show the quality of the prints so people may order the set. This particular salesman copy shows the title page for volume 1 (Greek Women) but the examples of the illustrations appear to be from a collection of all the volumes. The book itself is unpaginated as this is a sample of various parts of all 10 volumes.…

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.
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.
