245 _aYemen : travels in dictionary land
260 _aLondon : John Murray, 2007
500 _aTim Mackintosh-Smith (born 17 July 1961) is a British, Yemen-based, Oxford-educated Arabist, writer, traveller and lecturer. He has written numerous books on the Middle East.

Vita Sackville-West found Aden 'precisely the most repulsive corner of the world'.
