 If I lost it I would not replace
it.
Of some use
but not one I would go out of my way to find.
Useful.
Very useful and one I would recommend
strongly.
A
very important or even the definitive work on the
subject. It does not have to be perfect but if I give it
5 stars and you are interested in that area then you
should own a copy.
Not Yet Rated - I haven't gotten to it

This book is of some value but it is dated
and it's day has passed. |

Jacoby's book was a good source 48 years
ago when there was little in the field. I don't
have a copy but my brother Jim spoke well of it.
There are a few little problems in the
translation. All in all rug studies have come too
far in the last 48 years to recommend this one as
a reference book. |

I found this to be a handy little book
from someone who knows rugs. The more I read it
the more I realize he knew. I would put his
knowledge on a par with Cecil Edwards and PRJ
Ford. I would give it 5 stars but the format of
the book is too constrained. |

A great book. While geared to the scholar
it is very useful. There are examples from the
Mamluks as well as the pre-Mughal Sultanate
states. This is a very nice book. |

The Story of Navajo Weaving and the
Role of the Indian Trader Schiffer
Publishing is pleased to bring out this entirely
new edition of H.L. James' classic study of the
Navajo rug and the trading posts associated with
each unique style. New information and an
entirely different design help explain and
display the beauty and craft of the Navajo
Indians. Illustrated with 49 color plates, many
black-and-white photographs and drawings, and
up-to-date price information, Post and Rugs
traces the history of the Navajo rug and the
impact the trading posts have had on its
regionalization. There is also much background
material on the Navajo people and their art.
Here are design drawings showing elements
characteristic of different weaving centers,
superb color photographs of rugs typical of these
centers, and detailed maps to the areas.
Exquisite line drawings accompany the text
showing all the steps in rug weaving, from the
sheep to the finished rug. Also there is helpful
advice on buying Navajo rugs and caring for them.

A great book considering it's age but most
of the plates are black and white which puts this
book at a disadvantage. Irwin's work stands out. |

An excellent introduction to a wide range
Moroccan arts and crafts. Good section on
Moroccan rugs with good pictures. Reads well and
holds interest. Good mix of black and white
pictures mixed with very good color plates. |
