Gottfried Semper, 1803-1879: A bibliography of his writings and scholarship about his writin... Book

Adequate course textbook. It broke concepts down and provided plenty of exercises. That said, it was terribly edited, with important terms outright missing from sentences, entire paragraphs copied and pasted from previous sections, and incorrect solutions to questions published (confirmed with my instructor). It could probably have been half as long.

If I were to also review the online component of this textbook/publisher system, it would be 0/5 stars. It is disgusting that in order to even participate in university classes now you need to purchase a new edition from the publisher, as these books contain codes that give you access to their online assignments and tests, which this university course requires you to complete. Worse, an extra charge is added for access to the system as well as the textbook, which puts a greater financial burden on students, especially low-income ones. As these codes expire after a year, this also has the wasteful effect of making the used textbook market for both used and current editions worthless.
