This book arrived in perfect condition and very promptly from Amazon. It is an informative book in that it gives the background to the paintings by artists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones and Holman Hunt amongst others. The Pre-Raphaelites is a book of lavish, colourful art.It is priced very reasonably as it has 384 pages. Easy to read and beautiful to behold!!

Not trying to be a 'text book' but a very good introduction to the work and scope of Pre-Raphaelite art.
