When I started reading the book, at the line 'The Grand Bazaar itself begins on the other side of the Egyptian bazaar,..' .. I had to stop reading. I couldnt resume without fixing this place on map. Had I flipped through the next few pages, I would see this nice blown up map of the bazaar showing details of the kind of merchandise sold in the streets.
Descriptions of travelling merchants using the bazaar for safekeeping sent me imagining to the extent of seal done in lacquer.
Imagine a real procession.
Some pictures are like that of a minaret lying on a table, view of a local bazaar through a hatch grilled window(so much easier to draw) will make you want to know more about them.
