This is the 1888 edition of Choice Selections John Ruskin or Selections from the Writings of John Ruskin, published by John Wiley & Sons. The covers are bright blue with a lovely floral, leaf, and spiral illustration on the cover in black. The spine is also illustrated in black with botanical motifs. The cover and spine are both lettered in gold. The inside front and back endpapers are a repeating brown and black botanical pattern. There are 479 pages followed by several pages cataloging Ruskin's titles.
The book is in good antique condition for its age and use. It has general wear to the covers with some fading to the blue, especially on the spine. The spine has the most wear with fraying to edges and along the cover. There is a small dark stain on the back cover. The covers are attached at the spine. It look like there might have been an illustration plate at the title page that was cut out. Someone wrote 125 on the top right corner of the very last blank page of the book. The pages are yellowed.
The book measures 5.25 by 7.75 inches. It is 1.5 inches thick.
