A booklet announcing an Encyclopedia of Arab Knowledge focusing on the renaissance of the emirates of the Arabian Gulf, specifically emirates which would become, in a few short years, the UAE. Further announced is an upcoming encyclopedia on the Arab Maghreb, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. The stated hope of the compilers is to promote a sense of pan-Arab community from the Arabian Gulf to North Africa. Other encyclopedias are also promoted, with listed prices, on the topics of legal studies, taxes, labour and insurance, all specific to the Arab world. An interesting record.
In good condition.
