520 8  "Everywhere in the world, tiles add colour and decoration 
       to the facades and interiors of buildings. Both functional
       and decorative, and found in a multitude of shapes, sizes 
       and designs - ranging from complex geometrical Islamic 
       patterns to figurative 17th-century Delftware - they are 
       among the most varied ceramic products. This striking book
       gathers together a diverse collection of ceramic tiles, 
       and explores their rich history, purpose and decorative 
       qualities.  An introduction traces the little-known 
       history of tiles, from their earliest mass production in 
       Europe in the 13th century to today, and presents the 
       development of different types of tile. Throughout this 
       stunning book, tiles in every variety of shape are 
       organized chronologically to illustrate the evolution of 
       styles. 'The Tile Book' is luxuriously illustrated, with 
       generous examples of each individual tile type and their 
       overall laid patterns exhibited over double-page spreads. 
       Captions provide descriptions of each tile, with some 
       detailing interesting locations, trends or influential 
       designers. Interspersed in this invaluable sourcebook, are
       tiles shown in situ around the world and at different 
       periods in their remarkable history. This book is a 
       dazzling mosaic, with colours and patterns that will 
       uplift and inspire." -- publisher's description.
