Title: GREAT BOOK
Review: The book was in good condition when I got it, even though it was used and someone maybe before me highlighted some of the reading in it those also helped me to find what I needed for my assignment as well, I think renting books will be what I do from now on. It’s a great thing and cheeper to do..

Title: Great Art Intro Book
Review: Like the other reviewers, this book was required for one of my classes. We didn’t read the whole thing, and I honestly barely read it myself, but what I did read was interesting and had I not of been forced to read this book I may have taken an interest to read all of it. Very good for students who are not in an arts-related major but need to know the basics of the history of art and culture.As with all textbooks, I would recommend RENTING your books! Unless you know you’ll take a great interest in the book in question and will want to refer to it later in life, it is cheaper and easier to rent than buy.

Title: Creative Impulse
Review: I started out the semester, which was a mini, with the 6th Edition and was doing horribly in the class. Once I got this edition, my grade jumped to an A. Makes a difference to have the right edition for class. On a personal note, Amazon got it to me quicker than even I expected. Thanks Amazon!!!
