essential guide

Just a fabulous book. Provides a really interesting overview of Mughal history in the introduction that I just couldn't put down (and I am easily bored by history). I thought it was well-organized and comprehensive. Although I realize that a travel guide must necessarily be brief, I would have loved the book even more if the author had incorporated more close-up and detailed views of architectural embellishments (such as relief carvings, pietra dura panels, carved screens, etc.).

great book

this book is masterly written, with humour and enthusiasm.Very informative and a true pleasure to read. Everything you need to know about Mughal architecture if you are going to India.Better than any tour guide!

Terrific, balanced, must have

Essential for the architecturally inclined travelling to northern India, or just curious about some of the most enduring masterworks created by man.
