This was a great text book for my art history studies. Glad I still have it to reference!

Because of the nature of this book, an Art History text book, I took my time reading through it. I recommend the book because of Laurie Schneider Adams writing style. The art terminology is clear and concise, though I wish there were a few anecdotal stories on the artist or the paintings. The photos are laid out nicely. Also, this is not a "weight heavy" textbook so it's easy to put in a backpack and go.

I read this book for college. Very in depth and a good read for any history student. I still have mine and refer to it often.
