Buy it and read it before buying an oriental rug

This is a folksy book written by one of the few Americans who really knew oriental rugs. Colonel Jacobsen clearly states that this is a book intended to help people purchase their first oriental rug. If you intend to buy one, read this book first, and you will not make a mayor mistake either in terms of money or quality. And after you have bought your rug, the Colonel will show you how to take care of it better than most... Yes, some information may be outdated about Iran and the Central Asian region in general. The book was first published in 1969. But the main purpose of the book remains as useful today as then. Besides there is no comparable newly published book in its price category. The Jacobsen family is still selling rugs and their reputation continues today as high as ever, a feat in an arcane and exoteric business.
