product great delivery a bit slow

The book arrived in perfect condition, but the day before my lecture on the Pre-Rafaelites. It took about two weeks to get it, I should have ordered it sooner, that was my fault. The book itself is facinating. It groups the women that the Pre-Rafaelites painting into "arch-types." It's shortcoming, to my mind, was that it also tried to give information about the models and their relationships to the artists. That information was kind of confusing because it was sporadic and between the main theme's info. But it kept my interest through two readings and the photos were great for showing during my lecture.
