A fascinating new book on medieval Beirut

[May Shaddel @MayShaddel]

Just laid my hands on a (e-)copy of @mikati_rana's new book and can't stop reading although I have a lot of commitments that require urgent attention. While reading it you can feel, almost touch, the love and appreciation she hints at in the introduction. Definitely recommended!
