Numbered 23 on half-title page. Blue bevelled boards with gilt lettering on front cover and spine.Illustrated throughout in black and white. Top edges gilt, fore-edges and lower edges uncut. Head and tail of spine and corners and edges of covers bumped and worn, corners down to the card. Spine backstrip very faded, worn and damp (?) stained. Covers generally stained and marked. Pages browned, with odd reading-related crease and fingermark. Endpapers tanned, ownership bookplates on front eps. Page edges browned and dustmarked. Spine completely shaken, inner hinges cracking, textblock held only by endpapers which are extremely fragile and liable to tear unless professionally attended to soon. Last illustrated plate has detached, but is still present. The binding apart, I would describe the contents as being Good, as the text and illustrations are still clear and legible. Taking the binding into account, this is only Poor to Fair overall, but, given its scarcity, a definite re-bind candidate. Approx. 9 x 11 1/2 inches. Please note this is a large, heavy book so additional postage will be required.…

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

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.
