Reviews of previous edition lastingly useful...the bulk of this volume devoted to succinct and readable accounts (browsing is a pleasure) of artists, styles, movements, art forms, materials and techniques will undoubtedly earn it an honourable place on many bookshelves. -- Times Literary Supplement
Delightfully written...Many entries I have read are little classics...I wish I had space to enlarge on the literary elegance which places this so far in advance of most dictionaries. --Arts Review
