Synopsis
The New York Times bestseller and international publishing sensation. Greed, desire, anguish, and devotion have all played their part in the development of the tulip from a wild flower of the Asian steppes to the worldwide phenomenon it is today. No other flower has ever carried so much cultural baggage: it charts political upheavals, illuminates social behavior, mirrors economic booms and busts, and plots the ebb and flow of religious persecution. Sumptuously illustrated from a wide range of sources, this beautifully produced and irresistible volume has become a bible, a unique source book, a universal gift book, and a joy to all who possess it. Now available in paperback, it's as irresistible as its subject.

- m***m (99)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe hat is lovely! It shipped quickly, arrived safely, and is clean. I would've categorized it as a women's (or women's/juniors'/kids'?) size rather than men's or unisex, because it's extremely shallow despite being labelled "one size fits most." But I love the design enough that I'm going to wear it despite how silly it might look on me. Glad I bought it, and I would absolutely buy from this seller again!
