This book is crisp and clean, I love it. Great quality seems newer then new!

Everything was like they said it was going to be and I received it on time. Great Service!

MY ITEM WAS SHIPPED FASTER THAN I THOUGHT, AND IT WAS IN GREAT PACKING AND GREAT CONDITION.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! DEFIANTLY 5 STARS.

The textbook is exactly like what the seller describes, and I am happy about that.

This book was for an online class. It was much cheaper than buying it through my school. However it smelled like cigarette smoke! Also I payed for "expidited"shipping and it still took over a week to arrive.

I would not recommend anyone to purchase from this seller since there was not any review. Unfortunately, I think I am the first buyer who tries to contact he or she more than one time. First, I tried to contact the seller through e-mail to find out if the book was sent out. I still did not receive any email back. At last, I went ahead to notify the seller that I want to cancel my order. However, there was never any email replying back to me from the beginning to the end of this transaction. Up to date, even though I cancel my order but I still not receive the credit back through my account. Finally, I had to file A-Z form through Amazon to request the amount of $83.99 to be credited back to my account.

This book really helps when you need more then just the teacher's notes and examples!

We ordered this book over a month ago for my daughter's college course. It still has not arrived. She has had to drop the course and we will get no refund for the class as we waited too long to drop, hoping the book would come!

I purchased this book for my sons art class. Was shipped when promised and received great service.

Needed for a class. Some chapters are hard to follow. Overall very helpful for class.

I recieved my book verry fast and on time foe my classes, also the book was in great condition and will be useing Amazon for any further future needs.

I used this book in my college art course, it was very informative and easy to follow.

"Living With Art" is a fairly common textbook for intro to art classes, but it manages to rise above the level of a superficial survey. Even though it's probably intended as a textbook, the format doesn't waste space for someone wishing to brush up on their art history outside of the classroom. By that I mean there aren't lengthy end-of-chapter reviews, projects, or answer keys. Having read fairly thoroughly in the field of art and aesthetics, I was not expecting to get a lot out of this book. How much can one really say about art in a single volume? Surprisingly, Getlein says a lot in a very readable, succinct manner.

The book starts out with the impossible question, "what is art"? One of the most pleasant surprises was the discussion of the nature of art. With such a variety of opinions and ideas, to present the major ones in a clear, concise manner is something of an achievement in itself. It sets the tone for the later chapters which are a straightforward history from ancient cave drawings to Jeff Koons inflatable lobsters.

The book itself is quite nice. The images are reproduced with all their detail and color intact. Granted, the images are small, but they are also plentiful. Virtually every point is supported with an image as an example. This is one textbook that students will want to hang on to.

As an alternative, I would recommend E.H. Gombrich's "The Story of Art". It's probably superior in every respect, but it's also a little more difficult for beginners and casual readers. That's not to say that most readers couldn't pick it up and get a lot out of it.

Whether you're looking to brush up on your art history, or you're a student and this is a required purchase, you have a lot to look forward to. I've seen a lot of "comprehensive" histories, but "Living With Art" ranks amongst the top.

Thank you for fast delivery and the good quality of the book. I really recommend this seller.

I was required to buy this book for Art 131 and while it gives good term descriptions it gives little information to interest the reader and want them to go into an art degree.
