Quoting from the flap of the dust jacket: "Among the mysteries of the "mysterious Middle East" have been oriental rugs. Where did they originate, and when, and by whom? How were they made? How can one identify a particular kind? Dr. Eiland's book deals with these questions; describes basic rug-making materials, tools and techniques; and presents dozens of diagrams that range from types of knots to design motif. Please find then: "Oriental Rugs- A Comprehensive Guide" by Murray L. Eiland. This book is very well illustrated with 179 b&w illustrations, 35 color plates and 13 maps. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket has one small tear at the top of the spine (which has been inexpertly repaired with common magic tape). The red cloth hard covers are clean and bright and unbumped. Inside, a former owner has left his inked initials and date on the front endpaper, and is also probably the person responsible for one small line of highlighting on page 1 about the countries involved in rug-making. Otherwise, the interior pages and many plates are clean and bright and without toning or foxing (although I see that the critical eye of the digital camera revealed some light foxing on the title page!). Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
