Farewell to Arabia

 

 

As I mentioned elsewhere, I am still looking for a copy of David Holden's Book "Farewell to Arabia". The only copy I have so far been able to track down is for sale on ebay for well over a hundred dollars. Even the usually obliging www.archive.org on this occasion offers no online copy.

 

 

Then, during my search, I came across a YouTube clip named "Farewell Arabia" without the preposition. Of course, I watched it, and it was only after I had seen the credits roll that I realised it was based on David Holden's book, albeit sans the preposition. What an interesting find!

 

 

Still, the search for a cheaper copy of "Farewell to Arabia" goes on!
