Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

The remarkable Aurel Stein embarked on an expedition to retrace Alexander the Great's triumphant invasion of India. Stein's tale has justifiably achieved cult status for the dangers and hardships he encountered; for the light it sheds on Alexander's journey; and for the information it provides about archeology, art, culture, and religion. Richly illustrated with black-and-white plates and maps drawn by Stein himself. "...a gripping piece of on-the-ground research...Stein's photos are an amazing record of cultures and societies of that fascinating region and his tale is a fantastic journey..."--Michael Wood.

About the Author
Marc Aurel Stein (1862-1943) was a Hungarian archaeologist who spent much of his life in the service of the British Empire in India. In the early years of the 20th century he conducted a series of important Central Asian expeditions traversing virtually the whole of the North-West frontier - territory not previously accessible to Europeans.
