Splendors of Istanbul: Houses and Palaces Along the Bosphorus

This sumptuous book by author Chris Hellier and photographer Francesco Venturi is your best companion on the Bosphorus cruise that every visitor to Istanbul must make. You'll pass palaces and yalis (waterside wooden mansions), from the gilded palaces of Topkapi, Dolmabahçe and Beylerbeyi to the refined, graceful mansions of the Ottoman upper class. Best of all, the book shows you photos of the interiors as you pass the exteriors. Published by Abbeville Press in 1993, the 228-page, 3.8-pound (1.72-kilo) book is unfortunately now out of print.
