interlacing examples for the artist, April 28, 2012

Only book on islamic art I know of that gives detailed examples of interlacing with construction details, as well as demonstrating the result. Text is minimal. Large plates showing how to construct with ruler and compass are cool, as are some colored examples, but the information on square roots is confusing for the math challenged.
So the book fulfills a certain niche, some pattern construction details, no symmetry group info. but does have hard to find interlacing examples for the artist.
