Highly recommended.

An excellent book covers all key art and architecture in the Islamic history. It is not only useful for the specialists in the area, but it is also useful for each person that has a special interest in Islam.

I bought this as a gift for my husband who is a designer. The art is presented wonderfully well with a treasure of information on Islamic history and explainations of the different styles.

Nice book. Plenty to take on board. The intricacies of Islamic art and architecture never cease to amaze me. How I'd love to see the more remote buildings for real.

I'm very happy with the purchase of this book. It gives an introduction to the history of Islam and how the art and architecture developed. Beautiful pictures and very enjoyble to read.

A book worth having

My niece and her daughter both love this.
