This is a fine copy of A Judgement in Stone (both book and dust jacket), another suspense novel of brilliant and chilling originality by Ruth Rendell. The black cloth-bound boards are clean, unmarked and evenly coloured. There are no scratches, dents or bumps. There is a slight lean on the spine but the text block is tightly bound and all edges (of the text block) are spotless. Internally all pages are bright, clean and unmarked with no inscriptions or any other signs of previous ownership or sales. Despite its age (now well over forty years) the dust jacket retains its original gloss and crispness and there are no marks, tears, chips or unwanted creases. The publisher's price (£3.75) is still in place. We have included five photos of this book (the maximum number enabled by Abe Books) and would be happy to provide more.

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.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
