Covers all the arts except music. Goes great with my Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians.
This encyclopedia set proudly rests in my living room on its own bookcase. What an awesome deal. A former library set it now graces my house to offer all those who delve into her pages endless ideas on creative matter to be explored and put task to hand in being a positive and creative human being. Brand new this set would have cost me $3,000, and it still looks immaculate! Excellent deal.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
