 Scamming Students? Sep 28, 2006
By LQ
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 Feb 26, 2008
By Thomas G. Robbins
"t Robbins"
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 Sep 22, 2009
By Stephanie Hwang
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.

Bad CD Apr 01, 2007
By Paul S Boyer
"docbnj"
This is an interesting book, but is marked down because the CD does not open on the Macintosh, even though it is supposed to be OS X compatible. The publisher provides no work-around to the problem.
Not recommended.

 SAME books, but very different prices Feb 15, 2008
By amazon's fan
I AM another testament that this book is TOTALLY the same as the other book "A World History of Architecture," but the prices ARE quite different.
Of course, THANKS to the previous comment and the reply.
My classmates all have this book, while I have the "World History" one, but no differences in the entire content (except the cover design) whatsoever.
