5.0 out of 5 stars Presents a good overview of types, terminologies and regions, March 7, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Oriental Rugs: The Collector's Guide to Selecting, Identifying, and Enjoying New and Antique Oriental Rugs (The Collector's Library) (Hardcover)

Nicely bound, beautiful pictures, well written, great initial tour of the regional variations, styles, and terminologies. A good starting point for collectors of older rugs, not as a buying guide for new rugs. Overall, an excellent value.
