The Stones of Venice: Volume I, II, & III, Complete: Illustrated, with frontpiece by J. M. W. Turner

Not really suitable for the casual browser, this is a stone by stone study of Venice.

I've being buying books from Amazon for years and have generally been very satisfied with all my orders. This is the first time that I believe your description of the book mislead me: "If you love Venice and if you love art nd culture, this is an essential book" There we no readers comments. I was expecting a book full of Ruskin's drawings of Venice, an inset I found out that it is essentially a book for architects. It is useless to me.I would like to return it but the book is o heavy that I would have to ay the price of the book itself. I don't want this book. I could give e it to my local library. So please tell me what to do.

Good but very detailed.

Brilliant but tedious
