The Rolex Report- An Unauthorized Reference Book For The Rolex Enthusiast

5 stars (All you need to know) - ... and some more. Very good book about truth and rumors surrounding Rolex. For collectors or people how are just interested in Rolex a MUST. 5 stars (Great Gift for your Husband) - This review is probably a little unorthodox because I have never actually READ "The Rolex Report". However, I bought the book for my husband for his birthday last month and he just loves it. He's been into Rolex for a few years now and he owns a couple of them. He's an engineer and has always been the type to educate himself on various topics that interest him. He had been looking for a good book on Rolex and when I came across the Rolex Report I thought it would make a nice gift. Boy was I right. It's been around six weeks now and I still can't seem to pry it out of his hands for more than ten minutes at a time!! LOL !!! Again, I can't really comment of the contents, but from what he has told me about it this must be one heck of a book. Come to think of it, he's had his nose burried in that book every night this week so I should probably take a look to see what's in there !!! ;) Anyway, it was the highlight of his birthday and it has certainly earned me some "brownie points". And who knows, maybe he'll buy me a Rolex for my birthday next month. For all the ladies out there if your husband owns a Rolex buy him this book!! It'll be the best $40 bucks you've ever spent. I hope you enjoyed my review and I'm sure that it would be a great read for anyone who owns a Rolex watch. 5 stars (You will use this book EVERY DAY !!) - This review is WAY OVERDUE!! I buy and sell preowned Rolex watches on a daily basis, and I first learned of this book at an NAWCC watch convention here in Pasadena, California. My coleagues consider this the "Rolex Bible" and recommended it to me. I purchased this book over a year ago and I use it all the time. This book is WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!! It is filled with loads of reference information from movements, ...

5 stars (2006 Standard Catalog of World Coins) - Fantastic reference book, a must have for world coin collectors. 4 stars (Wrong book was shipped to me) - There must be some mistake in the Amazon stock regarding this book. I have ordered this book, 2006 Standard Catalog of World Coins, 1901-Present by Chester L. Krause, Clifford Mishler, Colin R., II Bruce (Editor), but instead I have received 2006 Standard Catalog of World Coins, Colin Bruce and Thomas Michael, Based on the original work of Chester L.

I just hope the above mistake will be fixed and other customers will receive the right book. Thank you Gabriel 4 stars (2006 Krause Catalog) - The only (= the best) general catalog of world coins since 1901 until 2004 about. Because there is no other relevant choose it's very difficult to compare with other products. So only one remarque: this issue has a little bit worse quality of snaps than my previous (2003). Amazon price & services were OK, I'm quite satisfied. ...

Oriental Carpets - A Complete Guide - The Classic Reference Oriental Carpets

5 stars (Incredible reference!!) - This book is definitely worth every penny! It goes into great detail on the different types of rugs, the history of the people (from a rug making perspective). There are beautiful pictures of rugs as examples, maps showing both the old names of areas as well as those in use today. The writing style is fun to read (not overly dry). The first 80 mpgs or so are dedicated to the rug and rumaking tself - construction, dyes, design, the people who make them. The rest of the book is broken down into the different areas where rugs were/are made. These sections provide great details on the specifics of the styles of rugs produced by those people, why they use certain colors etc. Excelent excellent book! I'd buy it again in a heart beat. Its a big book so its not so easy to take on a trip but a great book to have at home to read through and learn from. 5 stars (Good!) - A bit pricy but worth it. I bought it to read on my way to the UAE/Bahrain. I was planning on buying a carpet and this went a long way towards helped me to know what I was looking at and what to look for. A great book for the novice and experienced, alike. Everybody wanted to borrow it! 5 stars (The best general book on Oriental rugs for a long time) - With the mass of Oriental rug books that have been published in the last ten years (let alone since the 1960s, when writing about Oriental rugs became the raison d'??tre for collecting them or dealing in them), it seemed almost impossible to hope for a *Good* general book on the subject ever being attempted again - there was simply so much information that had become critical to even a broadly accurate understanding of the subject that one couldn't imagine the surface even being scratched by anything less than a proper ten-volume "Survey". But Murray L. Eiland - one of the authentic Big Daddies of the early Oriental Rug Book Revival - hit on the brilliant idea of taking as a starting point his distinguished...
