2. "Nothing comparable now exists in the English language." --Walter Denny, University of Massachusetts at Amherst

Oriental Rugs Book By Peter F. Stone-Verified Purchase-Customer Reviews
"I own a lot of rug books, and several of Peter Stone's past works. This is a culmination of past research, and is packaged in a way that any rug enthusiast, whether a novice or an expert, can expand their knowledge of textiles. The photos are amazing, and the layout of the different areas of focus truly make this an easy-to-use, and fun-to-use, reference book. This will now be at the top of my list to those clients of mine (rug cleaners and rug owners) as a book they must own, and I absolutely love that there is a Kindle version (finally!) of a great rug book. I truly appreciate Mr. Stone's contributions to our industry, and especially this newest contribution".-Lisa Wagner the Rug Chick
