Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Scholar Select Appears unread. Near Fine condition (cover only a little rubbed). NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked - apparently never read. Illustrated with about 25 plates, printed on rectos only (blank versos). NOT a library discard, but an undated reproduction based on a library copy of the 1898 Second Edition. Full title: "Contrasts: or, A Parallel Between the Noble Edifices of the Middle Ages, and Corresponding Buildings of the Present Day; Shewing the Present Decay of Taste, Accompanied by appropriate Text." Has chapters on Great Edifices of the Middle Ages; On the Revived Pagan Principle; Pillage and Destruction of the Churches under Henry the Eighth; Ravages and Destruction of the Churches under Edward the Sixth; etc. According to Pugin's biographer, Rosemary Hill: "The drawings were all calculatedly unfair. King's College London was shown from an unflatteringly skewed angle, while Christ Church, Oxford, was edited to avoid showing its famous Tom Tower because that was by Christopher Wren and so not medieval. But the cumulative rhetorical force was tremendous." -- Wikipedia. Reprint of the 1898 Second Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/No dust jacket, as issued. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. (xii), 100pp. + 25 plates. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Descripción de la tienda

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
