This review is from: The elements of drawing: in three letters to beginners (Paperback)
I am so disappointed with the quality of this book that I am returning it. I actually paid more for this edition because the cover looks so nice that I thought it might even be a modern type-set edition. Instead, it's an extraordinarily bad copy of the original. The illustrations are grayed out, and the bottoms of many pages are simply unreadable -- most of the characters have disappeared from the middle of the bottom two lines. This is not really even a book. It looks like their laser printer ran of toner. Amazon should be ashamed of itself.
The "publisher" says its reprint is of an older book and may contain errors, etc. I just purchased a Ruskin original printed in 1885 that resided in the Franklin Pierce College Library until 1985. Actually, the printing in those days was quite excellent and very legible. The graphics are crisp and clear, and all the words are there. Sheez -- I had to order a decent book from a London reseller and STILL can't get Amazon to come pick up their door stop. We're thinking of making a web site of the seasons changing while the package rots by our front door.
