The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: A Facsimile in Full Color (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) Paperback – September 1, 1994

It's small but it's only 43 pages. Has the photos of plates and written text. Not much else to say. Good story.

Peter Ackroyd's biography, Blake, renewed my interest in Blake's graphic work. This small copy of Blake' work is intriguing and unintimidating,given that it is short and exquisitely designed from a graphic standpoint. In short, it's accessible. An inexpensive taste test, you might say. I bought two copies just to share with friends.

The illuminations accompanying Blake's poetry should be considered necessary to the reading of his poems. The illuminations are beautiful, descriptive, obviously terribly time consuming and should not be counted as something separate from the words. That said, sometimes it is difficult to read the poems on the illuminations, as they were meant to be read. This book provides the complete illuminations followed by the poems sans illumination, for ease of reading. Also, the price is of course outstanding, as illuminated versions of Blake's poetry can get quite pricey.

Book came inside a brown paper package glued together, and although there was some glue on the inside, it didn't affect the book at all. Book is in absolutely perfect condition, but smaller than expected.

This is a disgusting product. You are ordering a Facsimile of a handwritten work based on crafted plates. You receive a booklet of pictures of the plates. Ideally, this is what you want to receive. But, Not only is the book incredibly small but the pictures are indentured around the edges making them even smaller. The text is practically unreadable serving this book as useless. Whoever decided to produce this copy did it as a joke and should be out of business. Ordering a facsimile of this book would be to receive a legible print of the pictured plates with all their detail but all you will receive is a pocket book copy that only could serve as food for your next book burning party. Thanks for nothing, publisher.

William Blake is a humorous satirical writer. His Proverbs of Hell is widely favored and I completely understand why it is so. The 70 axioms under the Proverbs of Hell are both humorous and good principals to hold. Many of these axioms are "quotable" and I've found myself quoting one here and there throughout my day.I highly recommend this book to anyone! It comes with pictures of the original copper plates the book was printed on but also only has the text at the end.Takes 30 minutes tops to read.

This is a book I needed for a college Humanities class. Amazon and the book sellers on this site are GREAT resources for school books! The service is always so quick, you have the options for paperback editions which are way easier to carry around, and the prices are unbeatable. Thank you for offering so many options and for great pricing and service.

Thought this was going to be a larger book but turns out it looks like some instructions that came with a blender. Very Very small with small handwritten text. I struggle the whole time reading Blake's handwriting and nearly throw it away. Wasn't until after I finished it I found that it is also typed in a very readable font in the back. FML, just so you know, printed text in the back.
