OK folks. I have read this book twice. It is hilarious and irreverent. At the same time, it is also very respectful of Turkish culture whilst poking fun at its political elite. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Rare book. Very good condition. PB. 306pp. $25 including postage anywhere in Australia.
Inspired by a dusty fez in his parents' attic, Jeremy Seal set off in 1993 to trace the astonishing history of this cone-shaped hat.
Soon, the quintessentially Turkish headgear became the key to understanding a country beset by contradictions.
