Review Quotes:
"Somewhere between a coffee-table book and an academic publication, it beckons the reader with colored plates of Isfahan's tiled masterpieces, clear reproductions of historical sketches, as well as the author's own architectural drawings, both floor-plans and angled projections, that bring back the grandeur and elegance of the Safavid capital."
