5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable reference book 6 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
My wife had come across this in her College library, she is taking a degree course in Fine Art at the age of 66. She thought it so good she wanted her own copy. It has proved to be a superb reference source for her course work. It has easily found and understood digests on a very wide range of artists and topics.

I found the book very helpful with my studies for AS History of Art. I use it a lot for my essays and have passed information to other students and encouraged them to buy same. Quick indexing for referencing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as stated 17 Oct 2011
By L
Format:Paperback
Delivered very quickly, only took a day. In good condition but the seller failed to say that the Library details were stamped all over it. Fine for what we need altho a little more detail about condition would have helped.
