There are three things you'll need to purchase for Art 166...

1) the textbook (above left), which is Art Across Time (Volume II: The Fourteenth Century to the Present), fourth edition, by Laurie Schneider Adams. This text is available at the Palomar College Bookstore, and from other sources (see below). There are two different versions of Adams you can buy.  One version, which is hardbound, covers the entire history of art.  The other version, which is in paperback, breaks up the textbook into two volumes.  For this class, we will only cover the material in Volume Two.  If you know you’re going to take my other art history class (Art 165, History of Art I), you may want to consider buying the hardbound version, since we’ll be using Volume One of Adams in that class.  It’s a little cheaper buying the hardbound version, rather than Volumes One and Two separately. You'll also need...

2) the Art 166, History of Art II, Survey of Western Art, Course Packet, third edition (above middle), which is only available at the Palomar College Bookstore, and...

3) scantron # 886-E, the Mini-Essay Book (above right). During the course of the semester, you'll need three of these scantrons, one for each of the midterms and the final. These are available at the Palomar College Bookstore.

Please patronize the Palomar College Bookstore for your textbook. They have the proper edition and volume for your particular class. They can also order textbooks for you.

If for some reason you can't get the book at the college bookstore, there are some online choices for you. Be sure to order the correct book (check the volume, edition, author and title that are listed in your syllabus).

Some online booksellers, such as Amazon.com, and Barnes & Noble, have huge inventories, but don't specialize in college textbooks.

Online sites that do specialize in college books are Half.com, VarsityBooks.com, eFollett.com, TextbookX.com, eCampus.com, Classbook.com, BookByte.com and StudentMarket.com. Some of these sites offer book buybacks, too. A site devoted to just buy backs is BookBuyBack.com.

A new site I just learned of, CampusBooks4Less, will search various online booksellers and give you the price of a textbook, including shipping, from some of the major book sites.

Good luck!
