Reviews
My art history professor recommended we purchase an older edition essentially it has the same information as the newer edition except for some minor things and coloring of images. The textbook was easy to read and understand, I had already purchased volume I for my previous art history course and now it was required that I purchased volume II. The condition of the book was obviously used, but in a good to average condition. I found some notes on a paper inside the book with I found to be helpful and nice to be surprised with some useful notes by someone else. It provides a well understanding of the different style period and historical background, I can see myself later on referring back to the book for review. It is a good book and pretty cheap considering the newer versions out there.
