Worth Having

Maybe not the most authoritative volume on oriental rugs and carpets, this book has beautiful color photos of rugs, oriental rug stores and markets. The author has travelled to rug-weaving countries and gives an account of her own experience with rug dealers,telling some fun stories along the way. A good source of information and a nice book to have.
