Excellent substantial book covering various countries in the Middlle Eastand further,

with two foldouts - a drawn map of Afganistan (by a famous local map maker) and a letter from Amir.

Many photos on cards attached.

As the publisher says, Curzon was a really good story teller, it's an absobning read.

The dust jacket was restored with a cellophane cover as it was torn in places, see photos.

Covers underneath in very good condition with gilded deetail intact, bumped / scuffed corners of spine but not bad. General darkening on edges (uncut) as typical for aged books.

Very good condition inside, clean and no damage.
