Two related reports in original staple-bound brown printed wraps 22x28cm. TL 58: (1), 17; TL63: (1), 8pp, both opening with a covering letter from Glen Brown to Fadil Kabbani, Deputy Minister for Mineral Resources. Wraps good, foxed and faintly damp stained, short closed tears, staples rusting. Interiors near fine with red ms ticks by the edge of the table on p6 in TL53, and some ink offsetting to the blank versos (not affecting text). These reports are a very early "preliminary" product of the monumental USGS-Aramco mapping project (1956-63), which, among other things, produced 21 Geological maps covering the whole of Saudi Arabia in a series of Quadrangles numbered I-200A to I-220A. They were prepared under the follow-up Saudi Arabian Mineral Exploration Project launched in 1963, which Brown coordinated from Jeddah. The team was made up of staff from USGS and the Directorate General for Mineral Resources. Their first analysis done during 22 March and 9 May was issued on 15 May 1966, based on 31 samples collected from Wadi Wassat in the Asir area (Map I-217A Asir Quadrangle). They found potential sources for pyrite meriting further exploration. Progress Report II issued on 8 June, presents findings with respect to silver and gold deposits. Among the main references are Overstreet's own Technical Letters 23 and 40. Very rare. Brown's covering letter states 10 copies of each were sent to Kabbani. Additional copies would have been circulated within USGS and probably Aramco. Worldcat records other letters in the series, but not this one. USGS reissued them in 1967 as Open-File Reports 67-174 and 67-175 (USGS website). …

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.
