Rare copy
Here are the details of the book shown in the picture, its condition, and its rarity:
1. Book Description
Book Title: Teaching Science.
Authors: Dr. Ahmed Khairy Kadim, and Dr. Saad Yaseen Zaki.
Subject: An academic/educational book focusing on methods and styles of teaching science, scientific curricula, and the preparation of science teachers.
Cover Design: Paperback with a classic old design from the eighties/nineties, predominantly orange and yellow with a geometric design of interlocking circles (the sun).
2. Condition Assessment (Based on the Picture)
General Condition: Medium to acceptable for an old book.
Edges and Borders: Show signs of bending, friction, and slight wear (the paper edges are slightly worn, especially in the top and bottom left corners).
Outer Cover: Clear creasing lines and fading of colors due to age and use.
Cleanliness: The cover is free from major marks or severe stains, but shows natural aging of the paper over time.
3. Is the Book Rare?
Scientifically and Historically: The 1993 edition (or nearby printings) is considered scarce in modern libraries due to its age and the replacement of old curricula and books with modern ones. It is often found in old university libraries, or with used and antique book dealers (Azbakeya Market/Haraj/Friday Market).
Conclusion: The book is valuable for those interested in collecting old educational seminal works or academic heritage, but it is not a manuscript or a rare limited edition with high monetary value.
