5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable reference book, 6 Nov 2009
By Peter Mccarthy (Blackpool UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
