I had to get this for my history of photography class and I love it! It's a great textbook and a coffee table book. I bought the first edition, we use the 4th (I believe) in class so I thought I had to return it.. turns out the instructor said it's not much of a difference so I'm glad I got to keep it! Price was much more affordable then the college book store. Seller worked very very well with me. Quick and easy delivery!

i had to buy this for class, and for once it isn't a "textbook" ! finally an art textbook that doubles as a coffee table book, and one you can read. very good text - easy, and not too "academic." highly recommend.
