The textbook in question is a required purchase for a course entitled "Global Visual and Material Culture, Prehistory to 1800." Any art that would appear in that book would be public domain — it's all over 212 years old at this point, after all. Still, since the book's publisher could not get clearance to use the pictures from Stokstad and Drucker Images, a decision was made to print the incredibly expensive art book without pictures of any kind. Students who purchase the book are instead given access to a web resource for viewing the art that should have appeared on the book's pages.

Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.
