On Ugliness Paperback – January 1, 2011

The book is exactly as described, well packaged, and delivered fast. Thank you.

Good packaging and speedy shipping. Book is in great condition.

I loved the book. It speaks not only about the ugliness of the world but also about the beautiful and the harmony -lets say-you can find in all ugly things situations etc.. and criticize and think that even in ugliness you can find something you like but with the good meaning of the word and not with the meaning of ugliness, anomalies or bud reactions of the human being (many of what you can find also in the book).

One of the highest quality paperback books I’ve ever bought. Images are crisp and unpixelated. The pages are sturdy oh gosh I just love it.

These books are a work of art, both in the visual and literary sense. I keep them around and flip to any page and find something well worth reading. There is another book on beauty, which I also enjoyed, yet who doesn't enjoy the grotesque and shocking aspects of humanity more? "On Ugliness" is a beauty.

Eco offers an important look into the definitions and constraints our culture places through history on the concept of ugliness. I return to this book often when envisioning characters for my books.

Book was as described: like new. No missing pages, dogeared corners, coffee stained flyleaf, or hand-written notations. Loved it; definitely a keeper for my personal collection.

Umberto Eco travels trough time on this study on ugliness... great book for anyone interested on art history, graphic design or similar.
