Printed for private distribution, title page states "Revised 7/76.". Tape-bound wrappers, mounted bookplate "Ex Libris - F. Diba" on front cover, large 8vo,. 251 pp in double column format.

The author's Persian Bibliography (which was published in 1981 and is scarce) states that earlier versions of the catalogue were mimeographed and privately distributed: this is one of those. The first 164 pages are a listing arranged alphabetically by title; pages 165-232 are an author index giving the titles for each author, and the remainder comprises title and author listings of acquisitions for 1976. The bibliographic details given in the title sections, where known, are : title, author, publisher, place and date of edition, and number of pages. Wrappers slightly soiled, 1" tear to head of backstrip. Otherwise Very Good.
