THE WATER WORLD BY PROF. J.W. VAN DERVOORT 1883 WELL ILLUSTRATED. Please find on offer here: The Water World, or The Ocean, its Laws, Currents, Tides, Wind-Waves, Phenomena, Mechanical Appliances, Animal and Vegetable Life by Prof. J. W. Van Dervoort. This medium-sized hard cover book (6 x 8 ½ x 2 inches, 480 pages) was published by the Union Publishing House of New York, Boston, Cincinnati and Atlanta dated 1883 and apparently the First Edition with the same date on title and copyright pages. It was Sold only by subscription and one can imagine itinerant salesmen carrying it out to the farms and villages of the States, much to the amazement of people who rarely if ever even were able to go to the oceans. The list of illustrations includes 22 (full-page, blank on the reverse) plates. I did notice that at least one of those plates was not present although there is no sign that it was torn out or even ever there and could have been missed in the printing. The page edges are full gilt all round. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are slightly bumped on the edges and corners but still very presentable, particularly at the spine. The book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing. The front hinge is partially torn and the rear intact with a tight and sound binding. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

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.
