uksubmissions@shop-ormus. The illustrations, collected together in a separate section towards the back of the book for easy reference, vividly illustrate the lively and engaging narrative and are in colour throughout. The friendly text and illustrations help children to appreciate the art, highlighting interesting biographical details and picking out key details to spot. Updated with a stunning new cover and a preface written specially by Professor Gombrich's granddaughter Leonie, this pocket format allows Gombrich's classic work to continue its triumphant progress for another generation, and to remain the title of first choice for all newcomers to art and its history. This really is a book to give and treasure. For this new, compact edition The Story of Art has been completely redesigned, giving a fresh perspective to Gombrich’s well-loved text.

So I’m very glad I also have both editions. A book meant for anyone interested in art and art history. Astonishing printing quality, richness of content and super useful apendixes(tables).

I loved it so much that I thought I would treat myself to this full size version. But it’s not a book that I could read in bed as the glossy paper and size means that it’s a rather heavy handful.

✅✅ worth the extra cost. It has sold 8 million copies and in its 16th edition so that tells you just how good it is! I’m glad I did.

He effectively made a textbook read like a novella and I recommend all to read! All art lovers should have it on shelfs and read it through. All the text and all the colour illustrations and cleverly managed with much less weight. I read A Little History of the World first and was so swept away that I had to order another Gombrich masterpiece.

This renowned volume is a compelling and fascinating tour through history (and pre-history) of how Art got to be Art. Great book, completely worth it's price, print is amazing! Highly recommend.
