Soft cover. Zustand: Good. Wilson, Peter; Gulf Public Relations (illustrator). Original silver titled blue card wraps 14x20cm. Printed by Delmon Press. 200pp including 3 full-page colour maps by Gulf Public Relations, royal portraits, colour photos by Peter Wilson, and numerous local b/w and colour ads. Wraps very good with a couple of staple perforations and marks to the lower. Interiors near fine except for some leaves coming loose, hence graded only as good overall. Edited by Peter Evans based on research by Louise Denver, this appears to be the first and only edition, although Al Hilal also published the "Dunhill Guide to Living and Working in Bahrain" c1978 with a different editor and authors, suggesting it was rewritten rather than updated. Rare with Worldcat locating 7 institutions. The introduction covers Government, history, crafts and industries, oil, economy, geography, the role of women, and festivals. Chapters cover Arrival (airport, climate, clothes, hotels etc); Day to Day (accommodation, utilities, home maintenance, shopping, language schools etc); Bahrain Portfolio (a colour photo section); Working in Bahrain (legal, conditions, Chamber of Commerce, protocol); Leisure (media - including reception of Aramco, Dubai and Qatar TV stations, clubs, parties, places of interest, tours, airlines); and Islam (a history from pre-Islamic times and explanation). The maps are of Bahrain, Manama (with facing Index), and Muharraq. (OCLC 12370040, 12528404).
