A definitive, illustrated guide to Ottoman architecture by the highly regarded British publishers Thames and Hudson. It covers the whole of Turkey, and is strong on the historical and social context of the buildings. With 500 black-and-white illustrations and 81site plans, the book includes any Ottoman building of any importance in Turkey. Organized chronologically and with a good index, the book would make an excellent (if bulky) companion for the traveler with a serious interest in architecture. A monumental feat.  (TKY39, $39.95)
