This seller gave excellent communication & a full refund when the book I ordered was found to be damaged at the warehouse. They sent a very apologetic email explaining the issue & refunded me straight away. I have used this seller before & they have always been reliable & prompt with delivery. The items have also been in even better condition than described for an amazingly reasonable price. This was not their fault, so I would definitely buy from this seller again & recommend them to others.

Many locations Ibn Battutah visited in the first half of the 14th Century are now lost or uncertain and many of the descriptions in his chronicles are now unclear. Enough survives however for the author to follow the route and visit many of the sites and other locations Ibn Battutah visited and he also meets several people whose ancestors met Ibn Battutah during his travels. My only criticism of this book are a number of ...
