This is an authoritative and a beautiful book. Take a look at the photographs - you can sit and look at the vivid, well produced photographs of these carpets again and again. The book offers a large amount of knowledgeable detail and instruction on regions and techniques, as well. Books on carpets are typically not this authoritative, so this particular book would be a valued gift by anyone who is accomplished in this area but also anyone interested in learning more about the many beautiful variations of oriental carpets.
