-From AUC Press 2018 Spring Catalogue http://www.aucpress.com/catalogues/AUCPressSpring2018.pdf
After three years of intense research that was like putting a 1000 piece puzzle together – patience, organisation, identification, the Field Guide is OUT and available at AUC Press, Oxford University Press, and Amazon. Information about the book launch will be posted within the week.
This book is a comprehensive study of the history in naming streets of Central Cairo, including Zamalek (Gezira Island). It is the first of its kind. Thank you to all who generously contributed time, information and the ever sought after clue that helped unravel stories of nearly 800 street names.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading it and grateful you and Humphrey gathered so much interesting information about Cairo and shared it.
Thank you so much for your comment. I am thrilled that you found the book interesting and useful. With gratitude, Lesley.
CONGRATULATIONS, LESLEY!!!! This is a culmination of three years of researching day in and day out every nook and cranny of this city you love. Its not hard to imagine just how important this book will be to so many who also love the city and want to both enjoy it as well as have historically correct street names for guidance. Im so glad AUC PRESS has published the book and are highlighting it in their catalog and promoting it. Congratulations on a great book!! Wishing it great success!

Is there an entry for Hussein Hegazi Street?
Hello, yes there is an entry on page 114. Thank you. Lesley
Thanks Lesley.
Would it be possible for you to quote the entry for me? I have a great interest in Hussein Hegazi and would be interested when the street received its name. My guess would be after he died in 1961.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Jack
Hi, I just had an operation….need to wait a few days. L.
But the street was named after Hussein Hegazi by 1988.
