Review: Beautifully told with an impressive collection of plates - This book tells the story of art lucidly, referring at every stage to beautiful plates to demonstrate the narrative. Reading it is like listening to a story from a dear old teacher who is passionate about the subject. For those interested in art and wanting to enjoy its journey over the years, this book tells it without the jargon and without the maddening "wordsmithing" which art critics often use. Recommended for beginners in art appreciation to read from end to end and for experienced art lovers to use as reference. Review: Interesting! - The work is too informative. This is a thoroughly enjoyable work! This edition is of a nice quality. However, the paper is very thin and all the plates are given at the end . Anyway, the content is too good to be missed.

Bad condition, great book.
It is a great book! Unfortunately it was delivered in a very bad condition. The cover is torn, edges are ruined and it's dirty. Inside pages are fine but needs to be handled with care due to the condition its in. Disappointing service by Amazon. If possible buy it from a book store, I wouldn't recommend getting online.
