4.		The Grand Turk: Sultan Mehmet II-Conqueror of Constantinople and Master of an Empire from Overlook Hardcover Price: $14.84 Customer Review: The story carries such a bias tone is exceeds the realm of far fetched propaganda.

7.	[no image]	Crete from Weidenfeld & Nicholson Customer Review: John Freely is a professional travel writer best known for his several volumes on Istanbul and his "Strolling Through Athens".

8.	[no image]	The Western Shores of Turkey from John Murray Publishers Ltd Customer Review: This is a great followup to the Blue Guide for Turkey but is focused on the Western Aegean shores of Turkey.
