Geoffrey King lived in Saudi Arabia for nearly a decade, giving him the chance to record the mosques and put together this detailed volume inclusive of several pictures, which would become a starting point for all future studies. This book contains mosques that have now been rebuilt. In the publisher's original dark green cloth binding, with unclipped dustwrapper.
