This review is from: Giotto: The Arena Chapel Frescoes (Norton Critical Studies in Art History) (Paperback)

The text may be fine, the accompanying documentation is probably useful, but every single image in the illustration section (promoted as "showing the complete work of art, details, preliminary studies, and iconographic sources") is a blurry, faded, miserable black and white photo. Except for the cover (don't be fooled), there is no color in the book. For an art book in the 21st century, there is really no excuse for this. It's infuriating.
