The book is in "reasonable" condition! not vg condition as described- front cover permanent fold over on arrival, packed this way ? pages are yellowing. Seller may be best to place a description "proper" of actual book being sold on the listing with photos so buyers know what they are receiving for the price paid.

  • Excellent if you are running out of time to learn more about art.

    I've read just another for dummies book before that was very very simple. I liked this better. Has very specific info about each art movement and period. Excellent if you are running out of time to learn more about art. Maybe missing some important info in modern and contemporary but it is understandable as there is too much to know!

  • Got to get Art History for dummies!

    I bought this book for my husband because he was starting his first art history college course. He would read his assigned class book and then before the day's lecture would read in the dummies book. He said he understood everything so much better. What a great addition and help to the course!
