Embark on a scholarly expedition with one of the most celebrated explorers of the 20th century. This 1969 Greenwood Press edition is a faithful and high-quality reprint of Sir Aurel Stein's seminal 1940 work.

The "Fine Copy" Advantage: This is an exceptionally preserved specimen. Bonus: Includes the beautiful red-printed folded map ("Parts of Western Provinces of Iran"), which is often missing from contemporary copies.

Binding: Boards and spine are in excellent condition with remarkably sharp edges and corners. Interior: Features clean, crisp text throughout, free from any underlining or marginalia.
