Críticas:

"Thoroughly grounded in the craft, technical, and historical aspect of rugs, the Kopps bring a real artistic appreciation to the form. Having read the book, you will never look at a rug in quite the same way, nor, I suspect, will you ever step so heavily on a good hooked rug." "With great knowledge and sensitivity, the Kopps have brought together more than two hundred clearly reproduced examples, most in wonderfully vivid color. It is a collection that will charm and delight the modern eye and perhaps bring a lump to the throat as well, for there is a touching innocence and intimacy to many of these designs."

Reseña del editor:

In 1974 Joel and Kate Kopp were guest curators for the ground-breaking and very popular exhibition of hooked rugs held at the Museum of American Folk Art in New York. In that exhibition and in this book, first published in 1975, then expanded and reissued in 1985, the Kopps brought a new eye to the field and showed how the primitive imagery that appears in these rugs often parallels other categories of folk art. With over 230 illustrations, nearly half of them in color, the authors trace the development of the hooked rug, from its origins in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century yarn-sewn bed rugs to twentieth-century examples of hooked rugs.
