Title: Reflections of Paradise - Sinks and Tiles from Ottoman Bursa

Author: Text: Godfrey Goodwin & others - Photographs: Ahmet Ertug

Publisher: Ertug & Kocabiyik Publications

Review: The book focuses on the history of the silk trade during 15th-17th centuries and on the formation of the Ottoman silk capital, Bursa. Outstanding examples of Bursa silks are presented along with the architectural environment bejeweled with tiles fashioned by Tabriz tile-masters. Superb full-page details, outstanding color reproduction and printing. 30 by 41 cms, 248 pages (124 color, 10 duotone, 21 line drawings), hard bound in cloth and presented in a slipcase.
