    I`m in the queue for one of these too, after frequent visits to the website.

    Thank you, Lanajnaj!

    Hi, yes I have visited the site many times before. It's nice that the makers of the site devoted this much energy and time to inform the rest of the world about this little known Turkic group. I definitely would like to add an example of Karakalpak jewelry to my collection. The amulet necklaces (heykels) from this group are mind blowing! But like Patricia indicated and her being a lucky owner of one at least, Karakalpak jewelry is very scarce and expensive when available at all! I love buying books on the subject of ethnic jewelry and art in general so will definitely buy the book next year after I have received my salary :)

    I did buy this book since I have a special interest in the Karakalpak and it is a great, great book. Wonderful pics and very understandable discussion! Now if only somebody would dump a little Karakalpak jewelry and embroidery on the market at extremely reasonable prices,it would make everything even more fun!

    Had a quick look and the book seems amazing. Will buy it sometime next year. December is a very expensive month! Thanks for informing us!
