Lebanon in really really old magazines
A friend of mine made me realize there are a lot of interesting things that can be found using the Google Books search feature. I did a search for Lebanon and I found a ton of mentioned of Lebanon in books and articles, too many to mention here but I have mentioned some interesting ones below as examples of what can be found. If only there was a way to copy all this stuff onto my iPad I would have a lifetime of reading material with me! Does anyone know where the pool pictured above is located?

Photos about old Lebanon are always magic
Although it shows us that nothing had changed in politics, even though 50 years have passed!
Excellent links. Thanks for posting.
