Geometrical Designs in Black and White,
This review is from: Arabic Geometrical Pattern and Design (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book is full of different patterns for use by craftsmen. Unfortunately, it has no color illustrations, and no information about sources for these designs. It is more like a coloring book than a resource for designs. However, it does have guidelines within each design to show how the design was created, and I find that useful.

This review is from: Arabic Geometrical Pattern and Design (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
Arabic Geometrical Patterns are not so easy to find, not to mention understand their knowhows, this book clearly displays a very wide array of examples with simple step by step instructions displayed on the same platform, i was searching for a book like that, this book is quite enough, it is not for novice beginners though, you need to have some background in such subject as the text and discription for each chapter is very limited, and the book is totally black and white, so you have to figureout what color combinations are suitable. But the layout of the book makes reprouducing the wounderful examples easy.

Geometry made easy,

This review is from: Arabic Geometrical Pattern and Design (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book has an extensive variety of geometric patterns that can be use by a Math teacher as well as an Art teacher. The designs are easy to reproduce. The display of the designs are big enough for students to try out and experiment. I greatly recommend it.
