	Venetian Colour : Marble, Mosaic, Painting and Glass 1250-1550 Hardcover edition by Paul Hills	*from Amazon*- The colours of Venice enchant visitors and inspire artists, as they have for centuries.

	Made in God's Image? Eve and Adam in the Genesis Mosaics at San Marco, Venice Hardcover edition by Penny Howell Jolly	*from Amazon*- The stunning mosaics that illustrate the story of Creation in the church of San Marco in Venice are the focus of Penny Howell Jolly's compelling and provocative book. Although the genesis mosaics allegedly copy a nearly destroyed fifth-century illuminated Greek manuscript, Jolly interprets them as a social document revealing the essential misogyny that existed in 13th-century Venice. 12 color plates. 34 b&w illustrations.
	The Alexander Mosaic : Stories of Victory and Defeat Hardcover edition by Ada Cohen The Alexander Mosaic : Stories of Victory and Defeat Paperback edition by Ada Cohen	*from Amazon*- The Alexander Mosaic: Stories of Victory and Defeat focuses on one of the richest, most complex and visually stunning monuments of classical antiquity. Contributing to a vast tradition of scholarship, which dates back to the discovery of the Mosaic in 1831, Cohen here engages with, but departs from, a core of positivist assumptions that characterize this body of literature. In this study, she examines the Mosaic as it may have functioned in two different contexts, first as a Greek painting of the fourth century B.C., and then as a Roman mosaic of ca. 100 B.C.
	Ancient Mosaics Paperback edition by Roger Ling	*from Amazon*- Using thousands and sometimes millions of pieces of colored stone or glass to create elaborate patterns or scenes is a painstaking and expensive way to decorate a surface.

This handsomely illustrated and elegantly written book traces the evolution of mosaic from the Hellenistic period to the early Christian era, with particular emphasis on the Roman Empire, and examines its regional variations from Britain to North Africa and from the Levant to the Spanish seaboard.

	The Mosaic Idea Book Paperback edition by Rosalind Wates	*from Amazon customer reviews*- This is the hands-down, all-time best. I have just about every mosaic book published in the last 10 years. It has tons of interesting patterns--sophisticated yet simple. It's a little 'long' on animal patterns--it even includes the ever-popular 'winged bat' in various poses. The animal mosaicist will especially enjoy the book--but don't let that put you off. It has more useful patterns than any book on my mosaic shelf. Simply: The best.
