Extremely relevant to our students, contemporary in content and direction. Well designed, clear layout.

I believe this small dictionary will be appreciated by my students ... it will supplement vocabulary - on images, concepts, terminology and specific art movements. Good job - keep publishing these resources.

My feeling is that the book has value, being concise and wide ranging, it is very relevant to the illustration course.
