Hi everyone, my aunt works in a secondhand bookshop in the UK and she found me this book by Bernard Gerard called Qatar, an A4 hardback book from the 70's with photos of the airport, souks, farms, roundabouts, palaces and the "newly built" Gulf Hotel. Lovely pictures of "modern shopping streets" not a mall in sight! I would be happy to pass it around if anyone would like to see it but I want it back!

I think the White House (also known as the White Palace) became the HR Office of the HMC.
It's just inside the hospital entrance down from the main HMC roundabout heading towards the Rayyan Road
