First: Book Description and Bibliographic Data Main Book Title: Arabic Literature and its History. Selected Subject/Era: The Pre-Islamic Era, the Early Islamic Era, and the Umayyad Era. Academic Level: For the first year of secondary school (in scientific institutes affiliated with the university). Authored by: Dr. Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Al-Faisal (a well-known Saudi researcher, historian, and writer, considered one of the pioneers in the verification and origination of Arabic poetry geography). Publisher: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - Ministry of Higher Education - Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University (University Agency for Scientific Institutes Affairs - General Administration for Curriculum Development). Edition and Date: First Edition, published in 1415 AH (approximately 31 years ago). Second: Book Condition The book appears in poor to fair condition due to prominent use and age, detailed as follows: Outer Cover: Standard paper, showing noticeable wear and tear at the edges and corners (especially the bottom right and left corners). Writings and Visual Defacement: The cover has suffered significant and impactful defacement; the name "Mohammed" was written in bold white (or whiteout "blanco") and the name "Hammoudi" below it. Additionally, some letters and words in the main title and the publisher's title have been obscured and colored in black and white, affecting the cover's aesthetic value. Third: Is the Book Rare? The concept of rarity in books is divided into two parts: commercial rarity and historical/scientific rarity. From a commercial and investment perspective: The book is not rare in the valuable sense; it was originally a textbook (educational curriculum) for which thousands of copies were printed annually for students of scientific institutes. Old curricula fall under the category of "nostalgia" or "memories" rather than unique manuscripts and intellectual books. From the perspective of current availability: Yes, it is considered scarce or difficult to find in regular markets today; students usually discard textbooks after the academic year ends. More than three decades have passed (since 1415 AH), making it not easy to find a first edition. There are interested individuals and collectors who gather old Saudi curricula. Impact of Condition on Value: The extensive writings with correction fluid and pens on the cover significantly reduce its value for collectors of old items, as enthusiasts always prefer clean copies free from standard scribbling.
