A very good, not very well preserved copy of the second in Paul Scott's four volume sequence of novels, known as the Raj Quartet, which covers the last years of British rule in India. The black cloth-bound boards are somewhat dulled and there is a small shiny mark in the top right corner of the front board. However, there are no scratches, dents or bumps; all edges are straight, all corners sharp. There is a slight lean on the spine but the text block is tightly bound; there are a few small marks on the top edge but none on the fore edge and only a very small area of shelf wear on the bottom edge. Internally, most of the pages are bright, clean and spotless but there is a previous re-sale price written in pencil on the ffep and a short (about 12 lines) critique, unsigned, written in pencil on the back free endpaper . The dust jacket is mostly intact but chipped at the top and bottom corners of the front and back panels, at the bottom edge of the spine panel and at its top edge where a small area has been torn away. Elsewhere on the dust jacket there are a number of repairs and reinforcements. The colours of the scorpion photo on the front and spine panels are bright, strong and unfaded. The publisher's price (42s) is still in place. See five photos of this book and do please ask for others if it would help to have some additional views.…

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 Bekiaris Books, Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom, 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.

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.
