About This Item
Tashkent: Chief Editorial Office of Publishing and Printing Concern "Sharq, 1996. Hardcover. Not fully paginated: a substantial coffeetable book page-numbered through p.117 followed by nearly as many appended captioned color photos, ergo about 200p. total. The first eighty pages are entirely in Cyrillic and largely textual only, with floorplans and diagrams and scattered vignettes captioned in three languages; then English translation with a different set of vignette illustrations. Somewhat confusing, but excellent photography, all in focus and in color. Item is hardbound in 11.5x8.5 inch glossy white boards and enclosed in the dust jacket. Boards mildly spotted, dj edgeworn with a verso reinforcement to the head; a very good copy. Terminal leaf issues a realpolitik boast: "If you are still dubious about our powers, look at our constructions" - assumed to mean draw a lesson from "third world" Muslim tenacity.
