Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The book is great however it is for an Art class. So when you are missing a few pictures in every chapter because of copyright it can hurt your studying ability. I was not able to see some of the pictures because of copyright which shouldn’t be a thing here.

⭐I used the beginning of this book for my Art of Asia class and found it very helpful. The diction is not complicated so one is able to quickly read through the passages and get the information down. For quizzes, going through the passage a second time really helped in understanding what I read. It was, however, a lot smaller than I anticipated for the price, so I recommend purchasing it used. There are lots of color pictures to balance out the small text, great for those who get bored and distracted easily while reading, such as myself. Overall, if needed for a class, I would definately buy it.

⭐Very helpful book, a lot of detail on the art pieces and cultures.

⭐Loved this book. Very easy read with detailed descriptions. This book is very thorough and has a lot of good examples and pictures with descriptions. A+ as far as art history books go!

⭐Had this book for a spring semester class and loved learning from it.The chapters were long but very informative and definitely learned a lot about different countries and cultures.Great book to read when learning about non western art.I don’t recommend the online tools unless your instructor gives you the tour or absolute certainty you will use the web help. I did not and therefore wasted a code I could’ve save money on.

⭐This refers to the kindle edition: the book is deceptively advertised for a low price, while the price is actually for rental. It is clear to me, but my wife and daughter didn’t see this. More frustrating is that the book is full of gray squares that are images blocked for copyright reasons. This is an outrageous, unacceptable, unjustifiable practice. The publisher should secure the copyright or not publish something in the first place.Not to mention that for anybody trying to get this book for a college or precollege student it is an extremely confusing collection of similar titles, various editions for different territories. We spent a couple of weeks emailing back and forth with the teacher trying to figure out which one is the exact edition that the teacher requested. We ended buying three versions and still not sure if it is exactly the same edition.The price is overinflated cannot be justified by selling a 70 year old book talking about 1000 year old stuff.

⭐Cover is coming apart and it looks a little ugly but I didn’t it try to judge it that way, we made it to the end of semester had some good times and then we just kinda decided to go about our own lives. I’ll never fort the Belau Men’s House art work, ever!-Nathan

⭐Ordered the book by accident, school gave the wrong requirements for this class returned book with no issue
