    Awesome seller! The item arrived quickly, was well packaged and the appearance was just as the listing described. One corner of the book got slightly bent in shipping but it is a very thin book. Other than that the condition is excellent! Great quality and value for the price. I will definitely be buying from them again!

  • Great Read About Navajo Peoples

    Not only is this book about the rugs and the posts, but also about the Navajo peoples and their struggles to survive. In the first sections of the book, it talks about the history of the Navajo peoples and how their lives changed over the years. Some of the history is very compelling and sad to read. The information about the the posts and how they influenced the designs and patterns of the rugs is fascinating. Those traditions continue today. Very informative.
