Part of Assouline’s special series, The Ultimate Collection, which is an homage to the art of luxury bookmaking. Books in the collection are hand-bound using traditional techniques, with color plates hand-tipped on art-quality paper; each page of this limited-edition series bears the unique imprint of the artisan. Complimentary white gloves and signature canvas tote bag are included with each purchase from Assouline’s Ultimate Collection.

Abu Dhabi Before 1971 is a rare and compelling visual record of an emirate on the cusp of profound transformation. Featuring extraordinary vintage photography, the book captures everyday life in Abu Dhabi before unification, before the discovery of oil reshaped its destiny, and before modernity accelerated at breathtaking speed. These images—many seldom seen—offer an intimate window into a world defined by resilience, community, tradition, and an enduring relationship with land and sea.

With a foreword written by His Highness Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the State, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, and a deeply insightful and elegantly crafted text by Jonathan Gornall, the book goes beyond documentation to provide context and meaning to this unique narrative. Gornall’s writing illuminates the social, cultural, and historical threads woven through the photographs, bringing clarity to a pivotal period in the emirate’s history. The unique historical photo collection featured in this edition is sourced from the National Library and Archives of the United Arab Emirates. This is a powerful edition that preserves memory while enriching understanding. Abu Dhabi Before 1971 is a testament to a way of life that laid the foundations for a nation.

Smells Good, Softens Skin
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It smells so good. The pump works just like it should. I haven’t had any issues with getting the soap out. I can tell a difference in my skin. It feels softer and looks good. It seems like it’s going to last for a while, too.

Great lather, great scent, great body wash!
Scent: Raspberry, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love trying new body washes. I tend to stay away from Olay because I've always heard Dove is better... I'm a convert now because this OLAY is way better than most of the body washes I've tried recently. With most soaps I use, it takes so much product to get it to lather. Not this soap! I used 2 pumps for my whole shower and it was still lathering!! The scent is strong in the best way! I can actually smell it on my skin hours after my shower!! I felt super clean post shower. No residue or dry skin. Just the right amount of moisture left on my skin. I'm going to try the other scents now!

Moisturizing body wash with a luxious scent
Scent: Victory Vibes Vanilla, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This body wash lathers well and leaves skin feeling soft. The scent is light and doesn’t linger too long. Packaging is sturdy and easy to handle. Pros: • Good lather • Moisturizing without residue • Really nice fragrance Cons: • Bottle shape can be slippery in the shower Verdict: A definite recommend!! Love this body wash for daily use.

Smells nice
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This smells nice and is moisturizing but there really isn't any 'fizz' to it. It just foams up like normal soap. 3 pumps on a loofah is enough for a whole shower really, it's very lasting soap and makes for a nice clean feel. The smell doesn't last long after the shower though. Interesting product but most likely won't be buying again.

Olay Intensive hydrating body wash
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really love this body wash. It is so good for the body. The smell is a sweet odor, but not strong, just right. I saw where this is a limited product. I hope not, because it leaves me feeling like I put lotion all over.
