ALMÁSY, László Ede, Levegöben... homokon... (In Air... on Sand)
Magyar Földrajzi Társaság Könyvtára
(Hungarian Geographical Society Library) series
Franklin, Budapest, 1937
Click on cover to see larger image
A very good condition copy of this very scarce second book of Almásy in the MFTK series. It only had a single edition, this copy appears to be of the first printing attested by the purple endpapers. It is in the "Classic IV" binding (cloth with plain gilt decoration, no insets) variant, relatively the commonest among the three known variants (I have not yet seen any examples of the other two). Overall it is an exceptionally fine copy of this very scarce work, with just some minor fading of the gilt decoration and a flawless interior.
Price includes CD with the english translation of the works of Almásy
NOTE: 16% discount from combined price if purchased together with any of the Ismeretlen Szahara copies.

ALMÁSY, László Ede, Ismeretlen Szahara (Unknown Sahara)
Magyar Földrajzi Társaság Könyvtára
(Hungarian Geographical Society Library) series
Franklin, Budapest, 1934
Click on cover to see larger image
A very good condition copy of this first published account of Almásy's explorations. It is a First Edition copy, in the scarce "Classic III" binding (with blue insets on the gilt globe and on part of the decoration) variant. The impressed gilt decoration is a bit faded on the spine, but perfect on the cover. Interior is in near mint condition, no damage or markings except for the inevitable yellowing of the pages due to the quality of the paper used.
Price includes CD with the english translation of the works of Almásy

ALMÁSY, László Ede, Ismeretlen Szahara (Unknown Sahara)
Magyar Földrajzi Társaság Könyvtára
(Hungarian Geographical Society Library) series
Franklin, Budapest, 1934
Click on cover to see larger image
A very good condition copy of the Second Edition of Ismeretlen Szahara, only known in this "Classic IV" binding (cloth with plain gilt decoration, no insets) variant, relatively the commonest edition/binding combination. The impressed gilt decoration is practically flawless both on the cover and the spine, the reason it does not have an excellent rating is because of the rubbing on the top and bottom of the spine and the hinges are cracked on the inside, making the binding a bit loose. Otherwise the interior is in a good condition save for some minor foxing and the usual darkening of the pages.

BAGNOLD, Ralph Alger, Libyan Sands
Immel, London, 1993
Click on cover to see larger image
A second copy of the affordable 1993 paperback edition of Bagnold's classic, not quite as pristine as the first copy, but still a very good one, with only a few minor signs of having been used and read. A little rubbing on the top and bottom, small bumps to the corners, otherwise a tight and clean copy, no markings or any creases in the interior.

A good clean copy of the issue containing the article "Crossing the Libyan Desert" by Ahmed Hassanein Bey. The photos accompanying the article are identical to those in the "The Lost Oases"
