Visible Notes: * The outer cover is regular paper (Softcover) and not a luxurious binding like cardboard or thick cardstock. There are some minor creases and marks from use and storage on the edges of the cover, but it is still intact and no major tears are visible. The condition of the inner pages (whether they have writing, yellowing, or moisture) needs to be confirmed for a final assessment of the condition. 3. Historical Value and Rarity Rarity Classification: Semi-rare / Highly sought-after edition. Reason: The first six editions of this book represent the early periods of Dr. Abdul Karim Zaydan's teaching at the University of Baghdad (College of Law and College of Sharia). The 1389 AH / 1969 AD edition (likely printed at Al-Ani Press in Baghdad or Al-Ali Press) is considered one of the old and preparatory Iraqi editions that preceded the book's widespread commercial printing and distribution through Lebanese and Egyptian publishers in subsequent decades. Academic Sharia books printed in Baghdad during the 1960s are now considered valuable finds for book collectors and researchers interested in the original and old editions of the works of major Usul scholars.
