• Oriental Rug Review. This journal was first published in tabloid form in the early 1980s. In the late 1980s it converted to a magazine format, which it retained until its unfortunate demise in 1995. Happily, the ORR is now alive in cyberspace. Visit its site! Back issues, which are indexed and in some cases reprinted on ORR's site, contain many articles, photos, and items of interest to students of Turkoman and Caucasian weavings. Some of these are already up on the web:
  

  
  

  • Carpet Collections in Central Asia by George O'Bannon
    

  • The Fabulous Dudin Turkoman Collection
    

  • Steven Price, Did the Turkomans Weave Saddlebags and Prayer Rugs Before the Mid-19th Century?
    

  • Steven Price, Degeneration of Turkoman Weaving in the 19th Century: Tekke and Yomud Juvals

  Hard copies of these and other back issues not yet up in cyberspace can be purchased through the ORR.
