Description

Pr terita is perhaps the best-loved of all the fruits of Ruskin's many-sided and tormented genius. This exceptional biography--the first of Ruskin's works in the Whitehouse edition--simultaneously presents a deeply reflective portrait of an early 19th-century Protestant family--its genuine piety, its severities, its suffocating possessive affections--and the product (at once intellectually brilliant and emotionally damaged) of its educational system.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
