4.0 out of 5 stars A Chronological Aproach, April 10, 2000
By Naum Phleger (California) - See all my reviews
This book has great plates and is a great picture book. It also approaches the subject of Islamic art in a way unique compared to most introductory western art books. Rather then go chronologically, it breaks the subject up by themes. This works great for this material. This book is very readable, but sometimes a little simplistic. It's a great introduction to the subject.
