Can you please recommend any decent books on Ottoman history?

It is difficult to recommend a broad historical text for the entire Ottoman era as noone has mastered it thoroughly enough - however the following texts give a generally good overview:
- Donald Quataert - The Ottoman Empire, 1700-1922

- Stanford J. Shaw - History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey Volume 1/2
Available here
- Caroline Finkel - Osman's Dream - The history of the Ottoman Empire
Available here
- Norman Itzkowitz-Ottoman Empire and Islamic Tradition
Available here
- Halil Inalcik-The Ottoman Empire: Conquest, Organization and Economy
