Sobre este artículo

Story of the discovery of ruins of the civilization of Dilmun (along the shores of the Persian Gulf), which traded with the equally ancient Indus valley civilization about five thousand years ago. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, in a review laid in, says, "On top of being a first-class archeologist, Bibby can tell an impossibly complex story without ever allowing the reader to forget a thing or lose his way. He can not only paint a corner of the world that this reader, at least, never took much interest in, he can actually make one want to grab the next jet there. ... It's enough to turn us all into archeologists." Shipping weight 3 lbs.. First Edition. . VG/VG. 24½ X 16½ cm.

Términos de venta
Twin City Antiquarian Books
Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
