About this copy
Few books have introduced as many readers to the world of painting, sculpture and architecture as E. H. Gombrich's The Story of Art. Written with a storyteller's clarity and a scholar's depth, it traces the history of art from the cave painters to the modern era, and it has been a trusted companion for students and art lovers for generations. This copy is the sixteenth edition, revised, expanded and redesigned in 1995, in the distinctive stone-effect paperback that has graced many a bookshelf.
A handsome, well-loved paperback in sound condition, ready for its next reader.
Condition
- Book
- Good. The binding is tight and the text block is clean, with a bright stone-effect cover. There is a retail price sticker with barcode on the rear cover, and some light edge wear typical of a paperback of this age.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
