This is a wonderful book. The scope of this book is wide, including very early to modern ceramic tile designs. I am very interested in tile design and use many styles of graphics in my own work. This book gives me lots of ideas from which to draw to create my own designs and some knowledge of the origin of my favorite styles. If you appreciate lovely tile work and have an interest in how, when and why different styles were developed, this is a book for you.

The many tile examples included in this book are generally well chosen, and are easy to see, which satisfies my main expectations. I find it fun and inspiring, and like the way the book is organized. The only complaint I have is that 6 point type is much too small for book text, and even captions, which is mostly what the text in this book consists of. If you want to read the book and not just look at the images, be prepared for eye strain!

1,000 Tiles is a superb book!! The color and size of the tiles are beautiful. I can see every detail and there are many to see! I love this bookk!
