Reviews
i'm glad i own this textbook, i had to get it for a class but i don't mind owning it at all. The price for a used one was a great deal. mine came with a poster of art through the years, like, in the form of a timeline and everything was in great condition. it's used so it did have some slightly bent corners on the cover but it's fine. i mean, i probably caused it more damage by having it bouncing around in my backpack. anyway, my point is i'm satisfied with this purchase thank you :]
