Dealer Notes

A Turkish businessman and classic car enthusiast, Erdoğan Gönül (1933-2003) held leading roles in the Otosan and Koç groups. The letter thanks the addressee for their visit to Otosan and reminds them of their discussion about carpets. The book was commissioned by Sümerbank, the Turkish bank, which funded the development of the new republic’s textile industry; it shows carpet designs manufactured in Anatolia over the centuries. It was printed in ‘a very limited number’ to ‘give away to friends’. Alas, no hint exists to which friend Gönül gave the book.
