XII, 576 pp.A small pocket guide for travellers and businessmen offering general information about the 8 states centered around the Gulf: Bachrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi-Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Subsequently, each country is described separately in more detail. The work mentions the history and geography of each state, the hotels and clubs to go to, the most important newpapers and, naturally, the members of government, with large photographs of each Head of State.With an owner's inscription on the first flyleaf ("[name] London i januari 1978") and annotations on the table of contents. With a brown (water-)stain on the bottom edge of the book block, never affecting any text and only slightly touching the maps. Overall in good condition.
