George Michell's The Majesty of Mughal Decoration
was one of my favorite releases in 2007. So I'm eagerly awaiting his next book, Kashgar: Oasis City on China's Old Silk Road.
Today Kashgar, located in China's remote western area, is the site of what some call the best Sunday market in the world. Historically it was a pivotal spot along the the famed Silk Route. Click here to learn more.

This one looks interesting too. Good for culture and history :)
I would love to go there ..driving on the silk route
I love it. I need to get the book when it comes out. I will make a point of visiting next time I am in China.
I'm really interested in the Silk Road's history and legacy. Thanks for tipping me off to this book. I'll look forward to reading it.
Oh good LL, glad to peak your interest!
can you do a piece on where to keep all these books. i have run out of space, and may have to start using a pile of books as a coffee table.
that cover photo reminds me of burningman center camp!
Lynne,
I know! I have the same problem with lack of space.
I'll try to post some sort of link to past posts about bookcases etc. :)
