    This work on the Islamic Architecture of the City of Delhi is an updated document of its kind. Delhi is a wonderful city for being the only place showcasing nearly all Islamic architecture styles. It deals with the concepts and evolution, in terms of formation and summation, of various religious and secular buildings like mosques, mausoleums, hospices, madrasas, palaces, forts, gardens, seminars, etc. This book sheds light on different styles of Islamic Architecture and Victorian Architecture in Delhi. Separate chapters have been devoted to defining and depict Indo- Islamic architectural innovations during the Sultanate period and that of the Timurids or Mughals with some light on the structures of the Raj too. A little touch of political history while describing the essence of architectural styles, and factors responsible for blending among different styles, makes this book worth reading. Meticulously done plans, high-resolution color photographs on glossy art paper, and lucidity in the narrative are some of the characteristics of this work. Much has been written on Islamic Architecture but since the invention of modern gadgets of documentation and the assistance of digitized photography and color printing the presentation in the field of art and architecture now has become more eloquent. It is a good research tool for those genuinely interested in Islamic Architecture. In the 100th Year of the foundation of the Seventh City of Delhi, this book is a gift to art lovers throughout the globe in general and dwellers of this imperial city in particular.
