About 12 years ago, a coffee-table book titled "Thai Style," with beautiful photos and elegant accompanying text, enjoyed great success in the wide and expanding circles of admirers of Siam.
Recently, a publication of similar shape and scope appeared. This time, however, it is dedicated to Myanmar; it is enjoying the same happy success.
"Myanmar Style," also published by Asia Books, is a collective endeavor by six international scholars with a deep interest in Myanmar: John Falconer (curator in the British Library), Elizabeth Moore (senior lecturer at the University of London), Daniel Kahrs (expert on Burmese architecture and crafts), Alfred Birnbaum (writer and editor), Virginia Di Crocco (expert on Burmese art, especially ceramics), and Joe Cummings (author and art historian).
