Bookworks Presents Shelf Awareness for Readers
by BWW News Desk - Dec 1, 2014
This is our first gift book issue of the season, and beyond the 20 titles reviewed below, I'd like mention a few lavish offerings, like The Cosmic Script: Sacred Geometry and the Science of Arabic Penmanship (Inner Traditions, $150). In two slipcased volumes, Ahmed Moustafa and Stefan Sperl cover the history of Islamic calligraphy in spectacular fashion.Just as gorgeous is the Metropolitan Museum of Art's The Shahnama of Shah Tahmasp: The Persian Book of Kingsby Sheila R. Canby ($75)--an illustrated epic poem from the 10th century. These illuminated pages are known as the most beautiful of all editions.
