Listed below is my current
stock in this subject, sorted in alphabetical
order, by author. Please note that it is
difficult to categorize some titles, which
overlap different subjects; in these cases, the
easiest procedure would be use the search box,
which covers my entire stock. However, if
searching for a particular title on this page
only, the simplest method is to use "Control-F"
to bring up the "Find" dialogue on screen. I
have described the books as accurately as

particular item is inadvertently not as
described.

maps, illustrations. Red cloth gilt in a scuffed and
rubbed d/j, otherwise Near Fine. It was not until
long after his grandmother, Sophie, had died, that
Michael Jacobs was eventually permitted to read the
lengthy and passionate letters that his grandfather
Bethel had written her from nine thousand miles
away. In these letters, Jacobs discovered a
remarkable story of hardship, deprivation and
enduring love. His grandfather’s work on the railway
through the Andes was exhausting and desperately
lonely. He had little in common with his fellow
workers and became consumed by a mounting
despondency, from which only his love for Sophie
could save him. But, as the months and years of
separation passed, the world in which Sophie was
blossoming appeared more and more remote from his
own. Michael Jacobs’ journey back through time takes
him from a rain-swept Hull churchyard to desolate
Antofagasta in Chile and to the former silver
capital of Potosi. Climbing through ghostly,
lunar-like scenery towards the snow-capped summits
of the Andes, he follows the route of his
grandfather’s railway - across giant rocky plateaux,
through terrifyingly steep gorges and valleys of
tropical lushness, and past grim mining townships
buffeted by winds, rain and snow - to reveal an
extraordinary love story.

105173 Shah, Tahir In Search of King Solomon’s Mines
London: John Murray, 2002 6” x 9½”. 240pp,
illustrations, map. Red cloth in d/j, As New. King
Solomon, the Bible’s wisest king, also possessed
extraordinary wealth. He built a temple at Jerusalem
that was said to be more fabulous than any other
landmark in the ancient world, heavily adorned with
gold from Ophir. The precise location of this
legendary land has been one of history’s great
unsolved mysteries. Long before Rider Haggard’s
classic adventure novel King Solomon’s Mines
produced a fresh outbreak of gold fever, explorers,
scientists and theologians had scoured the world for
the source of the king’s astonishing wealth. Tahir
Shah takes up the quest, using as his leads a
mixture of texts including the Septuagint, the
earliest form of the Bible, as well as geological,
geographical and folkloric sources. Time and again
the evidence points towards Ethiopia, the ancient
kingdom in the horn of Africa whose imperial family
claims descent from Menelik, the son born to Solomon
and the Queen of Sheba. Tahir Shah’s trail takes him
to a remote cliff-face monastery where the monks
pull visitors up on a leather rope, to the ruined
castles of Gondar, and to the churches of Lalibela,
hewn from solid rock. In the south, he discovers an
enormous illegal gold mine where thousands of men,
women and children dig with their hands. But the
hardest leg of the journey is to the accursed
mountain of Tullu Wallel, where legend says there
lies an ancient shaft, once the entrance of King
Solomon’s mines.
