The lavishly illustrated book ‘Dragon and Horse: Saddle Rugs and Other Horse Tack from China and Beyond’ (published 2013). Out of print and virtually impossible to find now on the 2nd hand market, it is the definitive book on saddle carpets from the various carpet weaving areas of China, Inner Mongolia and Tibet (read a synopsis of the book by the authour here - http://www.dragonandhorse.com/book/synopsis/) It contains many many rare saddle carpet photos, along with detailed descriptions by a (the?) foremost expert in the field. Two hardcover books in total that come fitted inside a hard slipcase (one book is in English with the photos, 192 pages / 295 images; the other in Chinese without the photos save for a few historical images, 46 pages). Both are in excellent, almost as new condition, save for some very minor shelf wear on the case and dust jackets. Simply a 'must have' reference work for any collector or enthusiast. We are only selling this one as we have two copies bought new. Price is a mere 90 Euros, with postage extra. (Extremely good value for money as the authour himself was last selling new signed copies for $275 plus shipping http://www.dragonandhorse.com/buy-now/)
