5.0 out of 5 stars Tribal Rugs, May 26, 2005
4 and a half stars
A very informative book liberally illustrated with color plates of some of the most exceptional types of oriental rugs. An excellent commentary written by one of the real gentlemen of the rug business. The author offers some of his own unique theories and insights. Jim does tend to put emphasis on his own particular favorite types of rugs such as Persian tribal rug weaving so know that it is not a comprehensive guide. This in no way lessens the importance of this book. Good as a coffee table book for anyone who appreciates beauty as well as must have for the rug aficionado.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make it this one., November 30, 2011
Alright, so you've just gone back from Turkey or Iran where you marvelled at all those rugs in the bazaars. Your interest was picked but you feel utterly lost not knowing your kilim from your sumakh. You want to buy a book informative enough to teach you a thing or two and keep your heart beating but you end up lost in a maze of titles. Well, look no further, TRIBAL RUGS by J. Opie is right here to show you the way and take you to ruggies' heaven.
I own a bunch of books on rugs (too many), being addicted myself, but this is the one I keep going back to. The book is very well laid out, the text is clear and unpretentious, the plates well-chosen and well photographed. It is much more than a coffee-table book. It is getting quite scarce so do yourself a favor and get a copy before you embark on a new Anatolian hunting trip.
