دار السلام (مصر)

This page gathers the works of Dar al-Salam, an Egyptian publishing house, available in the My Maktaba catalogue. It is among the Egyptian houses whose care in making is the most consistent, which makes it an exception in a country where printing quality varies widely from one publisher to another. For each title, the listing states the year, the number of volumes, the format, the paper, the binding and the nature of the editorial work. Everything is new and in Arabic.

What you will find on this page

The titles of Dar al-Salam present in the catalogue, in Arabic and all new.
The information for comparison: year of printing, number of volumes, format in centimetres, paper, binding, vocalisation.
The nature of the editorial work: bare text, annotated text, text with indexes, according to what the copy carries.

Beware of houses with neighbouring names

This is the point to know before ordering from this page. Several publishing houses bear a similar name, in different countries, and their catalogues have nothing in common. A search by name alone returns one and the other.

On every listing, the publisher is stated as it appears on the title page of the copy we ship. If you are looking for a particular edition a teacher recommended, give us the full name of the house and, if possible, the city: we check before shipping rather than after.

Checking an edition before buying it

The number of volumes tells you the scale of the apparatus of notes. The presence of indexes and numbering decides its use in consultation. The paper and the binding decide the life of the book. And on texts meant for memorisation, vocalisation and the size of the characters come before all the rest.

If the title you want is not listed

This page covers only what we hold in stock at this moment. Send us the name of the work and, if you know it, the year of the edition you want: our network of booksellers covers most of the editions in circulation.

Which Dar al-Salam books do you stock?

Those on this page, and only those: we list only what we hold. The catalogue changes as stock arrives, and every listing states the year of printing of the copy offered.

Several houses bear a similar name, how can I be sure?

That is the point to watch with this name. On every listing, the publisher is stated as it appears on the title page of the copy shipped. If a teacher recommended a particular edition, give us the full name of the house and, if possible, the city: we check before shipping.

How do I know whether the edition is annotated?

The listing says so, with the number of volumes, the presence of indexes and the nature of the editorial work. On a work of consultation, that is the criterion to look at before price.

Can I order a title from this house that is not listed?

Yes. Send us the title and, if you know it, the year of the edition you want. Our network of booksellers covers most of the editions in circulation.

Are the books new and in Arabic?

Yes. Every work in the catalogue is new, in Arabic, in its original edition. Nothing second-hand, no translations, no bilingual editions.
