Description
John Ruskin "Ethics of the Dust" Leather HC-Authors Preferred 2nd Edition (1899). A lovely copy of Ruskin's collection of essays. Burgundy boards with decorative raised green/burgundy flowers & leaves on the cover. (Some hints of gold left as well, but most has rubbed away.) Blocking/pages are clean, tanning commensurate with age. "Preface to the Second Edition (1877)" expands upon authors reasons for adding to/editing his original text. 1899 dating comes from the portrait of the author (c) by Henry Altemus, which makes this edition (probably) the last one published before the authors death (1900). Previous owners gift inscription dated 1900. Discoloration on back cover. Corner bump. See pics for details. Overall, a G+/VG- copy with great cover details, and as far as I can tell, the only copy of this beautiful 1899 edition being offered on the internet! MKWBOOKS-Great Auctions At Even Greater Prices!

The book is as described and photographed. In fact, it is in excellent condition. The book arrived quickly and was very well packaged for safe shipping. The seller was great in communicating via email the status of the shipping and delivery of the item. I had an excellent experience with the seller.

Fortunately the book was wrapped in plastic bubble wrap, because the USPS left the box in a puddle on our walkway instead of in the (large enough) mail box. The contents stayed dry. The book matched the description perfectly. Good value.
