An Arabic-language edition of Benjamin Spock's child-rearing guide, *The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care*, is the subject here, and its cover shows a woman feeding an infant. Spock, an American pediatrician, first published the book in 1946, and it grew into one of the best-selling American nonfiction titles of the twentieth century, with translations reaching many countries and languages. The cover's focus on a mother and baby reflects the manual's emphasis on feeding and daily care as the center of family life. The catalog record gives no date for the print, so its year of production is unknown.
