The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, with original artwork by Joe Mugnaini, is a Collector's Edition volume from the Masterpieces of Science Fiction collection by The Easton Press, issued in a limited run and bound in full leather of deep burgundy with a fine pebbled grain and a soft satin sheen. The front board is framed by a double rule of 22kt gold set close to the edges, and within that frame the whole surface is given over to Mugnaini's vortex: dense ranks of fine gold lines that sweep in from the corners and margins, bending and rippling as they spiral inward, tightening into concentric wave bands that circle a plain leather oval at the center of the board. That oval carries the title in gold capitals across three lines, THE TIME MACHINE, the only lettering on the board. The spine is hubbed, divided by raised bands into panels; the title runs the length of the spine in gold capitals, the author's name, H. G. Wells, is lettered in gold in the lower panel, and decorative gold medallions of radiating sunburst design fill the panels at the head and foot. Construction follows the press's archival standard, with Smyth sewn binding, concealed muslin joints, acid-neutral archival paper, and 22kt gold gilded page edges, and a pristine bookplate is affixed inside the front cover. Provenance is single owner, unread, from a private collection, always stored in dust-free bookcases in a dry climate, and the condition is pristine, as new, and unread.…

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.

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.
