I purchased this along with two similar books and I must say that this one comes the closest to being what I needed and was looking for. After so long, you just get SO tired of trying to re-write the same thing in a tactful manner and this book has some helpful suggestions. It also addresses more than two or three areas - It has been the ONLY title I have found that offers suggestions for Fine Art Curriculum comments. I can't say that it was perfect - but it comes real close.
