Following on from its sister-title Very Simple Arabic, this new title in the best-selling series concentrates specifically on the Arabic script, and should be the first port of call for all those who wish to learn how Arabic is written.
Author of Very Simple Arabic, Very Simple Arabic Script, Very Simple Arabia and The Arab World Handbook.
An experienced Arabist, he studied Arabic at Durham University and the British Foreign Office Middle East Centre for Arab Studies in Lebanon. He has lived and worked in the Arab World as a soldier, diplomat and businessman for over forty years.
This compact little volume is a fantastically accessible introduction to the Arabic alphabet and gave me a nice head start before my Classical Arabic class began. They have this at the Albuquerque library!
