Reviews
This is a compendium of art through history, and encompasses the several independent subsets. I ordered a used copy in very good condition and can’t tell it from new. I also ordered what I thought was the paperback, but received a hardcover. (Warning: at 1200 high quality pages, this is a heavy book.). I’m very happy with the price, too, less than 20% of a new copy.
