5.0 out of 5 stars great for artistic endeavors, June 22, 2000
By A Customer
This is a most helpful book if you wish to decorate anything with a turkish motif. I found the text as the bottom of each graphic informative and helpful. However, some motifs are so intricate that they're a bit difficult to trace and/or transfer.

1.0 out of 5 stars turkish children's coloring book would be better, December 11, 2001
By A Customer
Just a mish mash of designs with no information on originality of the designs, or even a mention of what century. Just thrown together to dupe a person. VERY disappointing.
