Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: PERSONAL NARRATIVE OF A PILGRIMAGE TO AL-MADINAH & MECCAH (Kindle Edition)

I haven't read this volume yet, but wanted to leave a review to note that this is Volume 2, beginning with Chapter XXI. I don't see any reference on the site to Volume 1, so perhaps it is not available. Still, it would be better if this book's page more clearly described what the buyer is getting.
