In preparation for a planned sojourn to Turkey I browsed many of the travel guides which are available. I finally settled on this one and have been richly rewarded. Reading this book has provided hours of enjoyment. I would recommend it even for those who do not plan to visit Turkey, although after you read this you will feel that you must go. I would now buy any book written by these two, sight unseen.

		A Fez of the Heart : Travels Around Turkey in Search of a Hat ~ Usually ships in 24 hoursJeremy Seal / Paperback / Published 1996 Our Price: $12.00 ~ You Save: $3.00 (20%) In 1925, Ataturk, the father of modern Turkey, banned the wearing of the fez as part of his plan to modernize Turkey. Seal uses the fez as a symbol in his search for the traditional Turkey. He visits rural areas, especially in the eastern part of the country, and although he doesn't find any Turks wearing fezzes, he discovers traditional views still flourishing and, in some places, evidence of Islamic fundamentalism. For the armchair traveler (most tourists wouldn't want to visit these backwater towns), this is a readable overview of a westernized and secularized country still beset by contradictions.

		Turkey Unveiled : A History of Modern Turkey ~ Usually ships in 24 hours Hugh Pope, Nicole Pope / Hardcover / Published 1999 Our Price: $20.97 ~ You Save: $8.98 (30%) ...the Popes have written a deeply revealing guide to modern Turkish culture and politics that fills a wide gap in general knowledge. It is also a brave and at times an ironic book.-- The New York Times Book Review, Robert D. Kaplan Turkey, write journalists Nicole and Hugh Pope in this well-made narrative history, is a land that defies easy categorization, a melange of elements "European, Western, Eastern, Islamic, fascistic, anarchic" that has always been something of an enigma to outsiders. The nation, the authors write, is now the arena of conflict between left and right, fundamentalist and secularist, nationalist and cosmopolitan: it stands at a crossroads both political and historical. Westerners, they suggest, would do well to pay closer attention to Turkish affairs, and their book is a fine contribution toward that end. --Gregory McNamee T

The tours laid out in this book contain references to small cafes and shops and restaurants that none of the others do. It is a 1998 version so is very up-to-date. Excellent book.
