"All students of Ottoman history will want to ponder the issues addressed in this book." - Digest of Middle East Studies "This book uses previously untapped sources, takes new approaches, and provides new insights. Particularly impressive is the use of visual evidence. Most of the contributors (notably Faroqhi, Salzmann, and Frierson) are well read in non-Ottoman sources. Faroqhi's incisive introductory essay deserves special mention as it puts consumption history in perspective and provides an indispensable framework for the volume." - Jane Hathaway, Ohio State University
