Suzanne Strauss Art books

Anyone use these? Likes/Dislikes? Please describe.

We used the Ancient China books.

Pros: conversational style; coverage of historical events/culture/science/art; good end-of-chapter projects, review questions and writing assignments.

Cons: lots of details - too much for one civilisation in a WTM cycle; the China books are riddled with typos, which the author says she will be correcting.

I expect to use the books again.
