A very presentable first printing of the final title in The Chronicles of Narnia. Blue boards clean and bright with only light handling. Gilt spine lettering sharp. Text block edges show some spotting, with mild foxing to the endpapers as typical for Bodley Head production of the period. Internally clean and unmarked. Dust jacket complete and not price clipped (9s 6d). Mild spine fading, though the blue tone and unicorn vignette remain visible. Small chip to one corner and light edge wear. Jacket panels strong and unfaded; flaps show mild foxing. No restoration. Jacket artwork by Pauline Baynes. Overall a solid VG copy in a VG jacket. Attractive, honest, and increasingly scarce in this condition. A sound example of the true first printing of the concluding Narnia volume. Please refer to the photographs where all defects are transparently presented. No surprises. The photo of page 50 shows the worst page in the book itself. The vast majority of pages are completely clear. Approximately 15 of 184 pages show a very small amount of foxing, page 50 being the most affected as per photograph. Other than this, the text block is clean, tight, and appears virtually unread. Please feel free to ask a question or request more photographs. …

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 Fitzgerald's Rare Books, Waterford, Waterford, Ireland, 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.
