Synopsis
A stunning crystallization of a tradition that spans 10,000 years, the rise and fall of mighty empires, and influences from Africa to the Balkans, this volume combines a comfortably erudite text with 300 color illustrations to reveal the interiors and exteriors of Turkish houses throughout the country's regions as well as in Istanbul. 10.25x11.25".

Customer Reviews

A wonderful coffee-table book. Beautiful pics!
This is a truly wonderful book. I needn't say too much because the internet details and extracts are first class and say it all. You will want to buy this book if you see the internet text and images.

The only thing I would say is that the contextual detail has suffered as a consequence of the lavish set of photographs and stylish narrative and captions. It is also a little depressing to note the delapitation of some of the historic buildings.

All in all, highly recommended!
