Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Offering a study of travellers in Egypt, the contributions to this book encompass early travellers, those with a serious scientific or archaeological interest, those whose primary interest was artistic and literary, and those - including Flaubert - who wrote classic works of European literature based on their experiences. A whole section is devoted to E.W. Lane, not only for the importance of his writings, but also because of the criticism which he has received in the "orientalism" debate and which has not until now been seriously questioned. The book is aimed at readers interested in Western perceptions of the Orient; in the contribution made by early travellers to Egyptology; in the study of Egyptian society and its artistic, architectural and literary heritage; or in the history and culture of European travel in the Middle East. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Matt Laminated Card Covers. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket as Published. First Edition. 348pp, illustrated mainly with black & white images, pages clean and crisp, matt-laminated card covers with stiff fold-in flaps, in excellent condition. An exploration of our long culinary history through the prism of a booklet of surprisingly cosmopolitan recipes, produced in 1913 to raise funds for the Huntly Town Band just before First World War broke out. It embraces notions of hospitality, hamewith and identity; hierarchies of landed gentry, the kirk, tenant farmers - community and kinship. Janet Starkey, who lives in the Scottish Borders, lectures on the Middle East and has published many books and articles on that region. Her latest book, The Scottish Enlightenment Abroad: the Russells of Braidshaw in Aleppo and the Coromandel is currently in press. With family roots in Aberdeenshire and Banffshire that can be traced at least back to the 1690s and continue to the present, she returns to explore her family heritage through this new publication. Clare Blois, a member of Janet's extended family and a great cook, is an award-winning Scottish oil painter. The powerful island seascapes and skies of the Highlands are enduring themes in her oil paintings, as are the gentler farm landscapes of the north. Clare exhibits in many well-established galleries in Scotland and elsewhere. Size: 8.25 x 6.25 Inches. Clare Blois (illustrator). Cookery.…
