1.		The Arabian Nights (Great Tales) from Naxos Audiobooks Price: $18.38 Customer Review: I had read the tales of 'Sindabad the Sailor' as a kid.

2.	[no image]	The book of the sword from Barnes & Noble Books Customer Review: I'm very please not to have to keep running to the library every time I need this book. It is quite the most complete study of the sword that I have ever read in spite of its early date. I am very pleased that the press chose to put it into print and make it available to those of us who use and read... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The Book of The Thousand Nights And One Nights from Assouline Price: $63.00 Customer Review: I ordered this book primarily because of the illustrations by Leon Carre. I just purchased a tarot deck by Lo Scarabeo which featured his work from The Thousand and One Nights so I thought it would be interesting to see the originals.

4.	[no image]	The Gold Mines of Midian (Arabia Past and Present Ser. : Vol. 8) from Oleander Press Customer Review: For the first time in my readership of Burton, the author avoids criticizing, belittling or scorning his travel companions, largely because his travel companions are little to the purpose. Unfortunately, most of what Burton writes is little to the purpose. Like his other works, I expected this to... more info	Customer Rating: 1.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		The Perfumed Garden of Cheikh Nefzaoui: A Manual of Arabian Erotology (Signet Classics) from Signet Classics Customer Review: But only 'sort of'. It does cover the physical act of love in some detail. That includes the many poses that couples might try together. It also covers all the lore about what makes a man or woman desirable, and about resizing one's genitals for better performance (larger for him, smaller for her).... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		The Lake Regions of Central Africa: From Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika (Volume 1) (Volume 1) from The Narrative Press Price: $14.93 Customer Review: The book is a detailed chronological account of nearly three years of difficult travel between Zanzibar and Lake Tanganyika, circa the late 1850's.

He gives detailed... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
