Great photos, awful text.
If you only need this book for the photos it’s a five. But if you need to learn something don’t bother reading this book.T his mix of factoids is often dadaesque in its randomness.

About a fifth of the text is the sort of doggerel that only postmodern pseudo-intellectuals are proud of.

GOOD ORIENTATION TO ISLAMIC CALLIGRAPHY
Overall a good intro to Islamic Calligraphy. More pictorial examples of Quranic manuscripts would have improved the contents relativity. Purchased it through Amazon's own bookstore - poor packaging - item arrived damaged considerably.
