Reviews
Honestly - I hate the way art books are priced and hyped, when a great amount of the information could be obtained from other sources for much cheaper, but for a text about "Nineteenth Century Art that is Mostly About France, and Occasionally Germany, and by the way, Goya!", it does a great job. My professor picked the text based on how well the previous editions have done, and because Petra is a great friend of hers. According to my professor, Petra has fought to keep time between editions to keep the books as cheap as possible and allow time for the books to remain relevant on the market.Good job, Petra.
