A Contract Officer in the Oman Alan Hoskins 1989 with Signed Note from Author

A hardcover edition of A Contract Officer in the Oman by Alan Hoskins, published by Costello in 1989. The author put two signed notes into the book addressed to the original owner (from what I have established, they served together).

There is also a hand typed amendment to the book which isn't shown in images as this appears to be a something discussed between owner and author and seems a little 'tongue in cheek'. The little note has a humorous postscript: "P.S. If you ever want a reference refer them to P.68." Bound in bright blue cloth with original pictorial dust jacket.

This witty and insightful memoir chronicles four years as a staff officer with the Ministry of Defence in Oman during the 1970s and 1980s, detailing the day-to-day running of affairs in a closed country under the Sultan's Armed Forces.

The little note has a humorous postscript: "P.S. If you ever want a reference refer them to P.68." Bound in bright blue cloth with original pictorial dust jacket.
