Wow, what a beauty! $160 for a two-volume set. Pricey, but looks magnificent. Somehow though, I keep thinking this should be a limited edition. Not sure why I feel this way, perhaps because it would have been a nice addition to the limited Travels in Arabia Deserta?

Agree. This is a must have for me. Not cheap,but order placed.

This is also the big-wish of this batch of releases for me. Fascinating history, beautiful binding (and slipcase!), 64 colour plates, 60 in-text line engravings plus maps. What's not to like? It could be cheaper of course, but when the Cambridge University Press 2-vol. paperback edition costs £72, the price of the FS edition seems not altogether unreasonable.
