A rare guide to Palestine and Syria, prepared for HM Forces "in a simple way to enable everybody to visit them without the presence of the ubiquitous guides" (p3). Original printed pink wraps 12x16cm. Printed on economical wartime paper in Palestine by Ahva Co-op Printing Press, Jerusalem. 95pp complete with folding Plan of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Map of Palestine and Southern Syria, with adverts for Matson Tours and Matson Photo Service to the wraps. Wraps good only, creased in places, dusted with some ink marks, and tear to spine paper. Interiors mostly very good, tanned and foxed, with short closed tears to the title page, and chip to the lower corner of p32 (not affecting text). The Plan and Map are neatly folded, with ink annotation to roads on the Map. Authored by St. H. (Stephan Hanna) Stephan and Boulos Afif, with a Foreword by Rev. Fr. Eugene Hoade, OFM. Stephan (1894–1949) was a writer, translator and radio broadcaster of history and folklore in Palestine. He worked for the Mandatory authorities in the Treasury, then in the Department of Antiquities. Boulos Afif was a Jerusalem-based photographer and publisher, also credited with the Guide Map of Jerusalem with B. Gauer, and related other works with Stephan. Hoade was Principal at Terra Sancta College, a keen archaeologist, and author of the much reprinted Guide to the Holy Land (1942). Their account includes a brief history, followed by descriptions of Jerusalem and Damascus, and several tours taking in Bethlehem, Hebron, Beersheba, Gaza, Ascalon, Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Petah Tikvah, Haifa, Acre, Tyre, Sidon, Beirut, Nazareth, Nabulus, Tiberias, Safad, Rosh Pinnah, Jisr Banat Ja'qub, Baalbek, Kantara, Lydda, Der'a, and Rayaq. This appears to be institutionally very rare. Worldcat records just 3 locations, of which 2 are in Jerusalem (Yad Izhak Ben Zvi Library; National Library of Israel; Stanford University - OCLC 234128765). Not recorded on Library Hub.…

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

Shipping terms
SHIPPING: Domestic and international shipping is tracked and insured with UPS. This has unfortunately meant an increase in domestic rates especially, and in most cases I am absorbing some of the increase. (I have moved away from Royal Mail owing to a series of problems).
DELIVERY DEADLINES: If you have a hard deadline for receipt that is before the processing time stated on Abe, eg, if you need it to arrive urgently before you travel or before a particular event, please contact me at the time of order to advise, so options can be discussed and steps taken to ensure it gets there in time.
RETURNS: Please return any items for refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, and contact me first with the reason for the return to establish whether postal costs will be included in the refund. If the item is not as described, I will cover the original and return post.
