Hey guys!

Please suggest some good books on Islamic Art and Archaeology. I plan to prepare to get in Uni and study the course in Persian with Islamic Art and Archaeology, so I need to have some good background knowledge beforehand. Please help.

Ok, here are the ones i could find...i think we have some more....will update as and when i come across them.

Keep in mind that most of these were not bought from the UK (these are hubby's books, not mine) but you'll probably be able to find them (and get a good price for them) if you search on BookButler:
