Book Reviews		Istanbul		Imperial Istanbul: A Traveller's Guide Includes Iznik, Bursa and Edirne. Jane Taylor. I.B. Tauris & Co. 1998.				Mark Merlino - Home page
			If I could recommend any book for someone interested in having a serious and detailed guidebook of Istanbul, then this would be it. This book organizes the historical monuments in the city by time period and provides handy maps. The real value of this book however, is the great detail that is given in describing what is found at each monument. With this book, you would not need a tour guide. The book also contains interesting sections on Iznik, Bursa and Edirne. A reminder though that this book does not try to give details about accommodations, restaurants, or contain colour pictures of the monuments described.
