As the Istanbul Bibliography published here will testify, a major part of Kuban’s written output deals directly or indirectly with Istanbul. For the sake of comprehensiveness, we included his writings that do not necessarily mention Istanbul in the title but may refer to it in the text. As for his newspaper columns, we included only those that explicitly referred to Istanbul in the title and appeared in Cumhuriyet, the daily for which he loyally wrote. We had to exclude the numerous forewords he wrote for a variety of books.
