Tribal Rugs: A Complete Guide to Nomadic and Village Carpets

This book was worth every penny. Very insightful. Great pictures they bring the text to life. Just what I needed to gain a better appreciation for the works of art that I have fallen for. The book was in the condition described and came exact when predicted. Well done.

An important book to anyone interested in Oriental rugs. Well written with excellent color plates. Try and purchase the 1992 edition used. The color plates are more accurate. The 2016 edition is the exact same book - no updates- but smaller print and pages with less accurate color plates. The earlier edition is much preferred.

the information is great but the pictures are low quality. someone who is interested enough in tribal rugs to want this level of info will be willing to pay more for high quality glossy plates.

If you want a useful guide to carpets this is not your book

Some of the most amazing photos of rugs I've ever seen; lots of history here, and photos of the tribal peoples who wove the rugs; stunning book!

Useful overview of carpets

love this book - if you are a rug collector, this is a must-have for your library!!

Fantastic book!

Whereas the description claims the book contains coloured photographs, it has poor black and white reproductions of the original edition. For a book on carpets that is a big disadvantage.

Great read

Cheaply printed on poor quality paper. I believe this is a reprint of a much superior publication.

Interesting. I would have liked paper of higher quality.
