Across the Empty Quarter (Penguin Great Journeys)
Across the Empty Quarter (Penguin Great Journeys)
by Wilfred Thesiger
Edition: Paperback
Price: £3.74

2.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE!, 31 Jan 2012
This is a heavily abridged version, missing lots of the text, compared with the original it is a boring account only of his camel trekking, leaving out all the interesting observations on Bedu culture. And, of course, NO PHOTOS (for which he was famous). Look for a proper copy!

2.0 out of 5 stars not worth it, 5 Aug 2011
This is a rather wordy and old-fashioned book lacking useful pictures There are better books out there, e.g. Breaking Clays.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware! not the novel!, 27 May 2010
This review is from: Der Zauberberg (Paperback)
I bought this thinking I was getting the novel - it turns out this is only a commentary, probably directed at pupils at 6th form level equivalent in Germany. The site failed to give anything more than a fuzzy image. I subsequently bought the novel for about £10 in hardback which is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars good little camera, 16 July 2009
Had to replace my lost Casio Exilim, which I was very happy with. This one seems to be just as good and easy to use. It has a good sized screen and, most important to me, a view finder. In bright light, e.g. when out skiing, you can't see the screen to take pictures with. I also bought the case that is made for it, and I would not recommend it. It is supposedly made of leather but feels like plastic, and the wrist strap needs to be fed through a hole at the top of the case, which makes it difficult to take a picture. Get an Antler soft leather case from PC World or similar shops - much better all round
