Spotlighted resource: “Western books, the Middle East from the rise of Islam”
“Western books: the Middle East from the rise of Islam” is a collection of 10,000 microfiche containing over 2,500 pre-1921 Western-language titles, selected from the collections of the Harvard University library. I did some spot checking and found that the collection is partially but by no means completely duplicated by titles available in Google Books.
