This edition is a really nice one, very comfortable to read and with large drawigs from the autor; needless to say, Ruskin is interesting and passionate. It's really such a great book!

Lamps for everyone
28 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
I first got this book to help study the principles of architecture and found that I could use the concepts in my everyday life. I am currently a student of architecture at WSU and found that the observations Ruskin was making about architecture 150 years ago still applied today. The seven "lamps" mentioned in his book not only apply to architecture, but can also be utilized in almost any field of study or occupational setting. The writing is wonderfully done and ideas are clearly presented to the reader. This is the type of book you get done reading and have a genuine desire to be better at everything you do.

Architecture's Most Influential Written Work
11 Jun 2001
Format:Hardcover
This book is the origin of virtually every theory held throughout the history of architecture. The arts and crafts movement, Frank Lloyd Wright's organicism, and Corbusier's New Architecture are just a few examples of prominent theories whose foundations lie within the pages of this book. In this book, Ruskin prescribes the essential elements required to make timeless, meaningful architecture. This manifesto is a must for any student interested in the practice and study of architecture.

rip off
12 Feb 2004
Format:Paperback
The kessinger edition of this book is a rip off!!! do not buy it!!!
i received a copy in which the margins on the pages were 2 inches all around and the text was so small. everything seemed to be copied with a fax machine, so there was lots of tiny black dots all over the pages. the images are so unclear. they were black and white with no grayscales and it was so hard to make out what the images were. i returned this book for a refund.
buy the dover edition instead. its practically the same text except the text fills up the whole page and the pictures are clear. its also less than half the price of the kessinger edition.
