The Language of Ornament
James Trilling Trilling's book is a great general introduction to the use and function of pattern. |

A Dictionary of Symbols
J.E. Cirlot (Editor), J. Sage (Translator) This is the ultimate "first stop" book for symbols from cultures around the world. |

The Grammar of Ornament
The two Owen Jones books are collections of eye candy for the lover of
pattern - I use them quite a lot as they cover so many different
vocabularies. They provide a good basic intro to almost any cultural
genre
of pattern. Owen Jones et al. |

Grammar of Chinese Ornament

The Mediation of Ornament
Oleg Grabar Grabar's book is a far more academic text for people who really want to pursue pattern and the use of ornament on an intellectual level. |
