Summary: Enchanting !
Review: This famous monument of love has been a favorite of tourists especially romantics, for many generations now. Visitors from all over the world are drawn to its irresistible charm, beauty and grandeur.

This book, dedicated to the most famous man-made wonder, slowly reveals its glorious detail. Color close-ups of semi-precious stones inlaid in white marble, intricate carvings, decorative patterns, and calligraphy enchant the readers. These artistically taken pictures draw the reader's attention to detail that a regular tourist may have easily missed during visit to the Taj. In fact these pictures are such fine quality and detail as to distract the reader from the well-written text that accompanies them. Every time you pick up this book, you are likely to notice something new, some other fine detail that you missed the last time. We, at Recipedelights.com, think this book is a must-see-and-must-read for designers, artists, armchair tourists, tourists planning to visit Taj and even those who have already visited it.

Summary: Just Beautiful!
Review: What a beautiful book! One might just write it off as a nice coffe-table book, but I feel it's much more.

In addition to simply gorgeous photography, including detail and up-close shots of the incredible inlays, there is very nice text that tells the whole story of the buildings.

Translations of the quotes from the Qu'ran that cover the buildings and the tombs are also included and they are very poetically rendered.

This book is exactly what I was looking for. It shows the Taj at it's very best and in full color. I continually enjoy looking at the book, and am inspired by the designs. I highly recommend the book to anyone who loves design and inlay.
