Published in this 1968 Revised edition by the Arabian American Oil Company, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, this is the ARAMCO HANDBOOK, OIL AND THE MIDDLE EAST. The book originated as a guide for American employees of the company who were coming to Saudi Arabia to work and needed reliable and fairly detailed knowledge of the kingdom.
Topics covered include the history, culture, geography, religion and economic development of Saudi Arabia; the fundamentals of the oil industry; Aramco’s early history and its contemporary operations. Arabic names and place names are spelled according to a system of transliteration from Arabic to English. Spelling or pronunciation are not completely accurate, but provide basic information that would suffice for temporary workers.
Many maps and color and black/white photos are used to illustrate this impressive 279-page hardbound book. It’s in Very Good condition, although ex lib with the usual library markings. Covers show some very light scuffing and edge/corner wear. Inside pages have no apparent defects. (5987)
