 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.

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. |
