The Art and Architecture of Islam, 1250-1800 (The Yale University Press Pelican History)

Beautiful, fascinating and interesting book. Had been waiting to get it for a while and no disappointments at all. Be well. Be safe.

very efficient delivery

This, and the other half (Islamic Art and Architecture, 650-1250) are really a good and accurate work of the Islamic Art. Very complete, you can easily search art and architecture for geographical region. Very rich text and beautiful coloured illustrations. Think it is very efficient for a beginner and a magnificent work even for those who are into Islamic art and Architecture for a long time.

For any enthusiast of Islamic art and architecture this is definitely a good source to have. Even the cover of the book is a good way to learn about the culture and the meaning of their art. I've purchased many books throughout my years in school and this is definitely one I plan on keeping. Its interest goes further than just choosing a courses on a required list of course to take, but in terms of design it might be tedious, but when designing with this book in mind, attention is put into every detail.

A great reference book. Full of a comprehensive study into Islamic buildings and their historical background.
