You must have a google account in order to log in, but I have spent months querying through worldcat and couldn't find anything close.
at one time I really wanted a web database in regards to notable Egyptian people. Its a portion of the book, but I will try to find the entire text online somewhere!
Enjoy!

Osman Effendi's story is there, and its a very good read!
But this is the best book I have found on Cairo's history: Cairo: 1001 years of the city victorious by Janet L Abu-Lughod - 1971 Cairo (Egypt)
I am working on obtaining a copy (not buying another book since I must get rid of over 600 books. I can't take them with me, but I can scan them and then give them away (within copywright laws).
Still can't find an electronic copy of the Janet L. Abu-Lughod books.

Actually I am looking into the timeframe of Cairo in between around 1900 - 1952 under British influence. I found some really great books (autobiographies of Westerners who lived specifically there) on Amazon, old copies though.
And e-bay.com has so many more interesting antique postcards to offer than the German one but slowly I am getting there.
