 == Added book, saying hello == 

 I added book to the bibliography  it's a survey of the various ""Western"" explorers, has lots of info re the Rashidis and the Saudis, lots of quotes. May be available to readers when primary sources aren't.  

 I'm not an expert and I don't speak or read Arabic (I hope to correct that). I'm interested in the roots of Wahhabism and I've been reading English sources for the history of Arabia. I'm going to be putting Doughty through Distributed Proofreaders so that a free e-book will be available.  "
