If one is looking for travel accounts to the city, one should look at obtaining Journey from Aleppo to Jerusalem at Easter A.D. 1697 by Henry Maundrell. This book is one of the first account of a religious pilgrimage to Jerusalem that details landmarks and monuments and is a must have for any collector. An early publication of the book can be worth roughly $2,500! Another great book is Hibat Yerushalayim by Hayyim Horowitz, the first book about Jerusalem published in Jerusalem. Written in 1844, this book is the first attempt by those in Jerusalem to advertise the city's holy significance.
Having a rocky history as one of the most attacked and conquered cities, a collector should have no problem finding books on Jerusalem. Some collectors may be interested the religious history of the city, while others may be interested in the political unrest and war conflicts.
