A 5 Star Book!

Murray and his son Murray III wrote Oriental Rugs A Complete Guide. It is one of the very best books in the field. If you have 5 books on Oriental Rugs this book should be one of them. I know some people avoid general rug books once they gain a little knowledge but they miss the point because this book is every bit as important as the specialist literature. For instance one old friend fancies himself a Turkmen specialist he has said he has not read this book because he is too far advanced for general books. All I can say is this book is as good or better than many specialist books that he has bought and some of his comments show he missed this book.

Eiland, Murray L, Jr. and Eiland, Murray L. III Oriental Rugs A Complete Guide. Boston: Little Brown and Company, 1998 4th edition. The single best collectors book on Oriental carpets. This completely blows away the 3rd edition and that was the best book in the field before this one.
