I purchased this text for an online class. It was MUCH cheaper through Amazon than the college bookstore. I was a bit concerned at first beacuse of discrepencies in the ISBN#'s but apparently I ended up with the correct edition. The delivery was prompt and the book arrived in perfect condition. I had ordered a text for a previous class through a third party at Amazon and recieved not only the wrong edition, but a version that was not sold in the states- (guess that's what I get for trying to go too cheap!)so I was a bit nervous! I have taken numerous other Art History classes and noticed that this text takes a slightly different approach, which is a nice change. Also, when it refers to another piece of art rather than just telling you the page number so you have to go flipping through the book it provides a small picture on the page, a nice touch. I also like that it covers art from medieval to present in one volume, other versions tend to split at the Renaissance, which gives more individual attention to some areas, but it is nice to have a general overview in one place.
