Dickson's classic work on Saudi Arabia. Dickson the son of the British consul in Damascus, had unrivalled access to the desert tribes as a result of his upbringing. The work is thorough and comprehensive. Completed in 1936, due to the difficulties of typing the manuscript and drawing the text illustrations in desert winds and sand and the disruptions of WWII, it was not published until 1949.
Second impression; 8vo, 664 pp, frontispiece, numerous illustrations, 6 folding genealogical charts at end, modern sand oasis gilt, all edges gilt, a fine copy.
