The Travels of Ibn Battutah

Got the paperback edition, and the quality and font is just enough to not return it. Besides, its a reading book so nothing to write on it hence doesn't matter much.

This is better than described by the seller. Golden gilded pages give a classy look. The paper is bright white so reading is enjoyable with dark text. I added a similar colored globe to make it a beautiful artefact

Very good book especially the section of his travels to india and his pilgrimage to mecca. Was my favourite .....showing india rich in culture and tradition something that i feel is now lost in the metros of our nation...its a very good book...well written ..never thought that ibn battuta would discuss things so openly ...

Page and print quality is not that good. Apart from this the contents of the book absolutely riveting. A must read for history bluffs

Excellent book... Gives a full and vivid account of the lives of people who lived in islamic Asia and Europe, a peep into their daily life,biases and beliefs. A must read if you like to read travelogue and is interested in medieval history. This book is an abridged version of ibn battuta'original work, the author had done an excellent work, especially the notes portion of the book which elaborates on the historical context and some peculiar words or incidents narrated in book

A real trip in 13th century by ibn batutaAmazing experience with this great book!!

Must read for every history lovers.

I started the book and stopped almost immediately. This is the worst writing I’ve seen in ages.At first, I thought - wow, the language is advanced. Then I realized, the author is just showing off, going completely overboard with his use of words we will never again come across while reading books.I sat with a dictionary and had to use it 4-5 times for each paragraph. And while it would be more fun to accuse me of being bad at English…. It’s really not that. On no planet is this logorrhoeal panegyric required.
