About this Item

am pleased to be able to offer: "The Book of Ruth", from the translation prepared at Cambridge in 1611 for King James I, with a Preface by Mary Ellen Chase and Illustrations by Arthur Szyk. (This book is a companion to "The Book of Job" which I just listed). This large but relatively thin hard cover book is contained in a gold colored slipcase and the Sandglass Newsletter (Number 6L) from the Heritage Club is laid-in. There is a full-color, very detailed plate by Szyk as the Frontispiece and 6 other similar plates, all bright and very detailed. All of the pages are doubles, with unprinted insides. Condition: This book is in very good condition. As mentioned the slipcase is a bit bumped and battered with some minor splitting around the opening. The book however is in much better condition. The hard covers are clean and bright with oatmeal covers. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages and plates are bright and clean throughout, without toning or foxing.
