Review
I used this textbook for two semesters straight and it was well worth the money. First off, it said I had purchased the book "USED", but upon receiving it in the mail, it was in near perfect condition, I cant even remember seeing an imperfection on it at all. Secondly, the contents of the textbook were so gorgeously put together and presented to us readers, that I can not see myself ever selling this book back or getting rid of it. Not only does it explain, in depth, the origins and developments of different music, but it includes art from the eras as well. The art work is so striking and really helps you put yourself into the book and understand the history more, it a perfect addition to any personal library!
