Ebook version doesn’t provide Digital Product Key As I have just started my course, I haven’t yet had chance to really pursue this edition to make a fair judgment call on the overall quality or coverage of the course topic. HOWEVER, I do issue a caveat. If you are purchasing or renting (in my case) the Ebook version; beware it DOES NOT provide a Digital Product Key so you can use the book in Hybrid courses utilizing online resources (i.e. InQuizitive) There is no mention of this in product details – otherwise I would have gone for a new print…
Missing pages! Ordered this book for rental, arrived in decent condition. Sat down to take a test and realized pages are missing from the very first unit. Very crucial pages of art work that I was quizzed upon and needed to have been able to see.Extremely unhappy at this moment. I will not be ordering rented books again, for they cannot guarantee Iâm getting what I paid for.I will say, this is a fine author and well organized textbook. This is in no way reflective of the authors.
interesting and fun This was a required textbook for my art class. It is easy to read and really explains the different concepts of art. I Mary half way thru bit and have actually learned a lot. My daughter enjoys looking thru it and seeing what mommy is learning as well…. I will be keeping this one and not selling it back at the end of the semester.
