First edition, first printing, of this comprehensive study prepared by Foreign Area Studies (FAS) of the American University and used by the American government to navigate the politics and customs of Saudi Arabia, with an attempt to sketch the general characteristics of the Kingdom. "It is the purpose of this Area Handbook for Saudi Arabia to delineate the basic political, social and economic elements of contemporary Saudi society in order to give the general reader an understanding of the interplay of the complex factors of continuity and change operating in this society. IT has been the intent of the authors to describe the Saudi society as objectively as possible and to avoid as fully as possible the kinds of value judgement which color so much reportage on the country" (preface).

The signatures feature with no other text on a single page, on one side of a 15 x 18 cm leaf of thickish cream paper removed from an album. In fair condition, aged, and dusty, with slight pinkish-red staining on edges, and not near any of the signatures. The signatories are: 'Hugh Walpole', 'Dunsany' [Lord Dunsany], 'Alec Waugh/', 'V S Pritchett', 'Lionel Hale.', 'Norman Collins', 'Philip Jordan' [Philip Furneaux Jordan (1902-1951), journalist and author], 'A. G. Macdonell.', 'Ivor Brown', 'J. B. Priestley', 'C. S. Forester'. The two largest signatures are those of Walpole, at top left, and J. B. Priestley, the second from last, at foot. In contrast with Walpole's signature, Alec Waugh's beneath it is microscopic. On the reverse are the large bold signatures of the baritone 'H. Lane Wilson' and the soprano 'Pauline Donalda'.
