1. The highest bidder shall be the buyer.
2. In the event of any dispute, the auctioneer may re-submit the lot or may
decide the buyer, at his discretion, and his decision shall be final.
3. The auctioneer may, without giving any reason therefore, refuse to accept
the bidding of any person or persons.
4. Each bid shall be an advance determined by the auctioneer.
5. Lots are in all respects at the risk of the buyer at the fall of the hammer.
6. The successful bidder shall be deemed to be the buyer and be personally
liable unless it has been agreed in writing at the time of registration and
prior to the sale that a bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a third party and
that such third party is acceptable to Peter Arnold Pty Ltd.
7. LIMITED GUARANTEE. All lots have been carefully examined and any
faults or deficiencies found have been noted in the catalogue. It remains
true that descriptions, especially of condition, are expressions of opinion.
Prospective buyers are therefore asked to make their own inspections
during the public viewing, and to satisfy themselves as to the condition and
completeness of any lot on which they intend to bid. In the event of any
book being found by the buyer to be defective in text or illustration and not
so described, Peter Arnold Pty Ltd undertakes to rescind the sale and refund
the full purchase price, provided that the book is returned within 14 days
of the auction together with a written notice of the defect, and provided
that the buyer satisfies Peter Arnold Pty Ltd that it was defective at the date
of the auction. This guarantee shall not cover the absence of half-titles or
divisional titles, errata leaves, advertisement leaves, plate lists, subsequently
published plates, appendices, supplements or volumes, or error in the
enumerating of the plates; nor any defect not affecting the completeness of
text or illustration. Nor shall it apply to unnamed items in a lot or lots of
more than 3 items, to periodicals, atlases, or to books already described in
the catalogue as incomplete or defective in text or illustration. Nor shall it
apply to any defects announced at the time of the sale. The benefits of this
guarantee are not assignable and are applicable only to the original buyer of
the lot.
8. A buyer's premium of 19.8% (including GST) on the hammer price of each
lot is payable by the buyer. An additional 5% is payable by purchasers via Invaluable.

REGISTRATION. Bidders are requested to register before the auction and
obtain a bidding number.
ABSENTEE BIDDING. Absentee bids must be confirmed in writing no later
than 3 hours before the sale. Such bids will be executed as cheaply as other bids allow.
TELEPHONE BIDDING. Arrangements for telephone bidding must be
confirmed in writing no later than 3 hours before the sale, and will be restricted
to lots with a lower estimate of $500 or more.
Peter Arnold Pty Ltd will not be held responsible for any error or failure to
execute bids.
METHODS OF PAYMENT. Payment may be made in cash, by bank cheque,
by telegraphic transfer to our account, or by credit card (which will incur a 1% surcharge). Personal cheques may be accepted by prior arrangement.
COLLECTION. Lots can be collected from our premises from the 30th of November, by appointment. Packing and despatch can be arranged at the buyer's expense.

If any lot sold is not collected and paid for, the auctioneer and/or
the seller shall have the right to resell the lot either by public or private sale,
and any deficiency on resale, together with any other costs incurred, shall be
borne by the defaulting buyer.

The estimated prices given are provided as a guide and should not be taken as
definitive.

Packing and despatch arranged at the buyer's expense.
