You are right BrandeX. I was thinking about the white book that comes directly from Penn Foster, made by them, that says Art Appreciation. I don't really remember digging through that book too much but when I clicked on your link it reminded me. I took that and literature at the same time and the literature book was about 3" thick and small print.
