Scamming Students?,
By LQ (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buildings across Time with CD-ROM (Paperback)
This book appears to be exactly the same as "A World History of Architecture" (Paperback) by the same authors and available on Amazon for $33.64 without the CD. The number of pages, table of contents, and intro sentence are exactly the same. It seems more than slightly shady to me to sell the exact same book with two different names.
This book is required reading for my Architectural History class and was for sale at my school's bookstore for $100. My stodgy old professor isn't teaching from the CD. I am not giving these people my money, I got my copy at the library.

Needless Expense,

This review is from: Buildings across Time: An Introduction to World Architecture (Paperback)
I'm one of those "stodgy" old professors (who chose this book as a text before it included the disc and zoomed up in price.) I was unaware until last week that it's produced under another name without the disc, at 40% of the price of this one (Yes, tacky, isn't it?) This book is very good, but it's NOT a good purchase since the identical "A World History of Architecture," can be purchased instead. Same words, far better price. I'm changing texts for future classes.

Buy "A World History of Architecture" - 2nd edition instead,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Buildings across Time: An Introduction to World Architecture (Paperback)
I read the previous review about how there are two versions of this book with two different titles and two different prices, but I just wanted to double check. I purchased both to double check and the reviews were correct.
This book cost $85 and is paperback with no CD "A World History of Architecture" - 2nd edition is half the price and a hardback version. I skimmed the pages and it is the SAME EXACT BOOK down to the page numbers.
