All the illustrations are stored in high-resolution format on the enclosed free CD-ROM and are ready to use for professional quality printed media and web page design. The pictures can also be used to produce postcards, or to decorate your letters, flyers, etc. They can be imported directly from the CD into most design, image- manipulation, illustration, word-processing and e-mail programs; no installation is required.

All designs in this book were originally recorded in the 1870s, primarily from Egyptian, Persian and Syrian sources. Together, they form a comprehensive graphic overview of the very best geometric design from the Arab world. The images are meticulously re-drawn and digitalized for this publication. The designs are interlocking, so it is possible to create larger patterns by repeating the components.

Lots of great patterns if you want to color them, but not so good on the construction, which is what I was after.
