5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite Collection of Persian Miniatures
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2023

I was pleasantly surprised by this book that provides both amateurs and connoisseurs with a wealth of Persian miniatures. For each miniature, there are three details on the opposite page with a short description as well as the title of the scene it represents, the name of the artist and the museum where it is displayed. Vivid colors beautiful calligraphy and illuminated patterns. The tablet-sized book is reader- friendly and takes you on a wonderful mystic and epic journey.

Photos are very small, low resolution and cheap print. Looks like someone has collected bunch of Google searches in a book. Unfortunately I'm returning it.

The images remained small after enlarging; not much larger than the postage stamp image in text. Very hard to see.

2.0 out of 5 stars Picture Book
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2010
I picked this book up at a local bookstore today. Most of the images are very nice (which is why I bought it) but a few are low resolution. The text is overall poorly written. If you want a book for educational purposes I would pass on this one. But if you want a picture book this may work fine for your needs.

This book is very informative and beautifully illustrated. My only criticism is that the illustrations are small, but to be fair, you gets what you pays for.
