The content of this book is great, but the quality of the printing is terrible.The cost ($48) is way overpriced for a copy that is essentially a black & white photocopy, with thermal binding.My advice would be to download the PDF...

Excellent reference tool for developing museum exhibits.

Needed for school.

This book has proven exponentially helpful in my museum studies classes. It was in perfect condition, as promised, and arrived in a timely manner.
