Short item in the March 14, 2014 Saudi Gazette - link here - pasted in below.
RIYADH — Riyadh Book Fair organizing committee has
banned Dubai-based Madark Publishing House from selling a book on women
driving. “When will the Saudi woman drive a car?” by Abdullah Al-Alami
has been banned for the second time since it was published. The writer
received threats over the phone and on social media from opponents of
women driving when he published the book the first time. The majority of
women support him and the book, he said.
The author has a blog at: http://abdullahalami.blogspot.com/
Here is the book's cover (it's in Arabic).
