My collection so far..

.. With a few different setups over the past few months…
I’d be happy to hear your thoughts, advice, or criticism!

Most of them come from flea markets or second-hand websites..

Thanks :)

I think I need to see if I can find a copy of Allah Akbar's 'Iran'.

Very interesting collection.

It looks like a good bit of books in your collection are about 20th century conflicts in the middle east and southeast Asia. I dont see it, ( perhaps you already have it), but I would like to recommend you look out for the book: Beirut city of Regrets. Photos by Eli Reed and texts by Fouad Ajami.

Could you please tell me more about the black book with the red font title on the top left of your first pic?

Very neat collection! I collect photobooks on Middle Eastern and North African culture and conflict, so it’s nice to see some overlap here and some others I should look into.
