Review: Good read for beginners! - I'm a beginner to oriental rugs and I find this read to be easy to follow and understand. I have two other books that arrived earlier but I find myself reading this more and putting the other two aside, those were just too detailed which will be good for a deeper dive later.
Review: Excellent and comprehensive guide to Oriental rugs - While I own a few rugs from a previous trip to the Middle East courtesy of Uncle Sam, I wanted to better educate myself to place myself into a better bargaining position with the local merchants. I believe this book is an excellent resource and explains a great deal about the history, workmanship, and variety of Oriental carpets, but it also includes tips on how to shop (including haggling), how to pick rugs based on your home, and cleaning and care recommendations. The only downside is the age of the commentary since the market has changed, at least from what I see, since this book was written. Nevertheless, it is a great introduction to the fascinating and beautiful world of Oriental rugs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything I needed to know about Oriental Rugs
*by N***. on June 7, 2017*

I wanted this book because I was passed down an oriental rug and wasn't sure what it was worth or how to appreciate why it was rumored worth that much. I would totally have this be my hobby now because this book was so interesting. If only I had more space to put rugs! This book told me everything I needed to know about Oriental Rugs and where my rug is from. I even understand the patterns now, what the colors mean, and how to maintain it. I estimated my rug's worth using the guide at the end of the book and without telling the expert my estimate, theirs was only about 20% off of mine! This book was really useful and I'll probably keep it as long as I keep the rug.
