A fantastic edition with brand new prints from original archive negatives. Copious illustrations and a beautiful additional map. A worthy addition to the works.

‘Bell bestowed her attention upon persons rather than places, her chief concern being to study the character and customs of the people. This fact sharply differentiates her work from most books on travel.’

I was thrilled to find Gertrude Bell’s book on Syria in the sale and bought it instantaneously. It arrived beautifully packaged, safe from any bumps of the Postal Service. The book itself is everything I could’ve hoped for. It looks like a jewel. The foldout map is beautifully detailed and allows you to track the journey as you read. I could not have justified the cost of this book for myself so when it entered the sale, I was over the moon. The photos are of a wonderful quality and if you haven’t read this before, she’s an incredible writer, blending her narrative with an acute eye for detail and a sharp sense of humour. She is one of the greats (and very under-appreciated, in my opinion) so to have this quality edition is wonderful.

Interesting book. My only quibble is that the dark print showed through on the other face of the page to some extent.

The author was an important person in the formation of the middle east. A fascinating insight into the young Gertrude Bell who became Miss Bell.

Gertrude Bell is a legendary traveler in the Middle East. This is one of her better known works, and I appreciate very much this fine art edition.

Have always been interested in the mix of cultures in the Middle East and this book along with the helpful map allowed me to be in situ in the reading.
