New York, NY: W.W. Norton and Company, 1990 W.W. Norton and Company, New York. 1990. Hardcover. Book Club Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; small stain on textblock fore edge; light bumping to head and tail. DJ: Very Good +; light shelfwear to head, tail, and tips. Cream paper over boards with brown cloth overlay on the spine with Bright gilt lettering on the spine. 281 pp 8vo. This book is the comic exploration of an American's everyday exploits in the intriguing places that are so much more than, and so different from, our images of the Middle East. The author, an American, tells the inside story of the region from his vantage point as a student in Egypt, a journalist in Saudi Arabia, a winemaker on Islam's home turf, a tourist in Baghdad and a pilgrim in religious territory. An entertaining and informative account. A clean very presentable copy.

Sobre Walnut Valley Books/Books by White

Walnut Valley Books is a small independent home-based business with the bulk of my holdings being of an American military nature covering everything from the Revolutionary War to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also have holdings of books on the Middle East, the southwestern United States (New Mexico especially, Kansas related titles, Oklahoma related titles, and other regionally specialized books.
