FIRST EDITION--The History and Art of Printing, by P. Luckombe, MTA, published in 1771 by W. Adlard and J. Browne, Fleet Street, London. This is, from all indications, a relatively new binding on a rare book that appears to be intact although its age is showing on some of the pages. According to at least one book dealer on the internet, Luckombe had published a similar book a year earlier that was titled "A Concise History of the Origin and Progress of Printing." This book -- the one I'm selling -- has what is often described as the Gutenberg frontispiece and a title page with the year of publication as 1771. No indication that this is anything but a first edition under this title. 502 pages plus four more pages at the rear that are a table of contents. Fore-edge and bottom of the pages are deckled and the top is cut smoothly. Light brown boards that appear to be leather with a splash of maroon and gilt on the spine. Many illustrations with examples of type faces, other languages, borders and musical scales. One of the photos of the title page shows what looks like a stain in the lower right corner. It is not. It's a shadow created by the photographer. Free shipping in the U.S. …

Store description
I am a long-time book collector who has sold on another website for a number of years and hope to broaden my exposure to other buyers, collectors. I provide every bit of information that I can based on my research on the value of an item as well as its edition, condition and rarity. I provide plenty of photos that show every book in detail. The last thing I want is a return, which, by the way, I have never had.
Specialty
Most of the books will be older books that may be harder to find. Majority of the books will be pre-Seller's business information

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 Russell Street Books, Covington, Kentucky, 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.

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.
