3.0
The idea of this - a collection of photos that Orhan Pamuk took from his balcony (in Cihangir, so some of the best views is Istanbul) in-between writing sessions - is fantastic. And the general quality of the book - the binding, ribbon, and heavy paper - would have been brilliant for a work that’s primarily prose.
But this so desperately needed glossy pages. The matte pages mean that most of the colour in the photos is stripped out. Such an unfortunate production choice for what would otherwise have been a lovely photo book!
