Summary: The classical book on Turkish archery
Comment: First, this book consists of two sections, one about Turkish archery, by Klopsteg, and another "Modern Methods in Archery".
For me the second part is not worth the book, it is just curious, not very informative, so I'll skip my comments and concentrate on the part about Turkish archery.
It makes a complete overview on the different aspects of Turkish archery, it is not a "how to" book, if you want a how to, better to try Thomas Douvernay's video about Korean Archery or Jeff Schmidt video about Asiatic composite bows. The second can be ordered at Amazon, and both are available at Three Rivers Archery.
There are different chapters describing bows, arrows, the strings, performances, and also a "recent addenda" that is more helpful to who is willing to build his own bow.
It is the best book about the most fascinating bow. If you're lucky enough to get a copy, go for it!
