Accompanied by the scarce original 22-page "Notes From the Editors" pamphlet (see scan). Specially-commissioned illustrations by Uldis Klavins. As New, pristine; never read - nor handled, except to scan and store. Ribbon bookmark is, in fact, still in its original position. See scans. Stout octavo, 417 pp.; full rich brown leather, gilt decorated and imprinted, spine panels rib divided, All Edges Gilt, brown silk moire endpapers with matching brown satin page-marker ribbon. The gilt is 22k, and the paper is custom-made 60-pound Antique Cream with laid finish. Franklin's as-always lavish binding, here for Auchincloss's 1964 novel focused on the driven headmaster of an Episcopal prep school for the wealthy elite scions of the American northeast - similar to one Auchincloss had attended. An early treatment of what has since become a popular theme and setting. The Franklin Library, doing what they did best. Handsomely preserved. Please review scans. With the author's "A Special Message to Subscribers from Louis Auchincloss" (prefacing the novel) and the separate original 22-page "Notes From the Editors", itself in Fine condition as well. A collector's example. Please review scans. L-franklin2.…

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.
