Title: IT'S SPLENDID, INDEED
Product review: The Bosporus is surely one of the most mesmerizing, captivating waterways in the world. The incandescently lovely photos in this stunning volume do it justice.The dazzling Topkapi Palace may well be the jewel in the crown of the Bosporus, yet an enchanting wooden mosque, the sixth century Haghia Sophia, the ageless waterfront mansions or yalis, and the art nouveau Egyptian consulate all shimmer in an eclectic mix of architecture and design that entrance the viewer.Chris Heller's lucid and comprehensive text, relating both the architectural and cultural history of the buildings, enhances the photographs. With some 200 incomparable illustrations, Splendors of Istanbul is splendid indeed.Gail Cooke
