Customer Reviews

Oriental carpet book
This book had beautiful colored pictures of many carpets. A very helpful book at a good price.

Well Done
Beautiful. A clear and concise readable guidline. There were a lot of wonderful pictures and all the information was very clear and understandable. A very valuable source for anyone who is thinking of buying an Oriental Rug.

Mostly Pictures
Illustrations and photographs were breathtaking. Price comparisons were helpful, but very little content on rug parameters and significance with regard to final results and quality.
