Dear Customers and Friends:
At the end of the month my parents will accompany Stefano Ionescu, Alberto Boralevi and other rug enthusiasts for the 2009 Discover Transylvania tour where they will see dozens of rare Romanian flatweaves and almost 300 Ottoman rugs from the late 15th to 18th century that have been preserved in the area's churches and museums. I'll try to get mom to email me pictures while they are on the tour so I can post them here.
And as usual here is our list of new titles and those we haven't had in a while.
Regards,
Wesley Marquand (wesley@rugbooks.com)
