Warning- not all of the Middle East included May 23, 2003

I bought this book exclusively for Middle East coverage and am very disappointed. None of the pre-buy book descriptions define the coverage of "Middle East". So after struggling with shipping problems I find that where I am in the Middle East isn't even covered.
The intro says it covers south to the 27oN latitude - which is probably less than the top quarter of Saudia Arabia. So everyone in Saudia Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, UAE is out of luck. It says coverage also includes to the 52oE in Iran, east to the Caspian Sea. However in skimming the small light colored maps on each page it doesn't even look like that much of SA is displayed.
The little maps are poor help for areas that are displayed. Other books have done a better job even with small maps. There are no companion larger maps in the back.
