About This Item
London: Curzon Press, 1980. Third printing. Hardcover. Fair/good. Green hardcover in jacket, third printing thus. A fair copy, priced accordingly. Hinges loose with textblock pulling away from the top of the spine column - paper intact and supporting the weight of the text. Shaken as if dropped hard. Readers copy only, but clean and unmarked, general wear to the board edges and corners. Dustjacket is good with minor soiling. 283 pp. An important translation linguistically, giving insight into the language and dialects of Cairo in the early 19th century.
