This review is from: Navajo Rugs: The Essential Guide (Paperback)
This is an excellent source on how to find, evaluate, buy and care for Navajo Rugs, especially for the new collector. Insight and information on the history, weaving & weaves, tools used and the major periods of design are all outlined in this book along with beautiful color photos. Navajo Rugs is the essential text for anyone interested in this artform.

This review is from: Navajo Rugs: The Essential Guide (Paperback)
This is a must have book if you are interested in collecting and purchasing Navajo rugs as well as learning about the history of these items. Easy to read and full of essential facts. I plan to order 2 more copies for friends who are very interested in the Navajo weavings.

Navajo Rugs,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Navajo Rugs: The Essential Guide (Paperback)
Excellent Book on Navajo Rugs. Great for the collector, giving some history and what to look for, as well as for the Navajo Rug Weaver. Good, basic information to help you make sure you're buying a genuine rug woven in the Navajo way. I enjoy reading about the history as I do weave Navajo Rugs and find everything I can read of interest. This is not a how to weave a Navajo Rug Book. There are many other weaving books out there on How to Weave Navajo Rugs. The Navajo Rug Collector/Historian would enjoy adding this book to their library.
