The Splendour of Islamic Calligraphy

I purchased this mainly to look at the pictures. However, the book is very well written and I have enjoyed reading it as well.

very good read

excellent book quality pictures

Great book, looks fab and is a great showcase performer.

If you only need this book for the photos it’s a five. But if you need to learn something don’t bother reading this book.T his mix of factoids is often dadaesque in its randomness. The authors constantly segue between history, art, religion, and mysticism, rarely making any sense at all. About a fifth of the text is the sort of doggerel that only postmodern pseudo-intellectuals are proud of.
