The book "Poets of Khorasan Literary Field" is one of the literary excerpts written by Dr. Nasrollah Emami for a course of the same name in the undergraduate course of Persian literature. Given the author's background in academic excerpts, the reader expects a well-groomed book to increase students' enthusiasm for further study of one of the most important areas of Persian poetry, but this expectation is not met. In the present article, the most significant drawbacks of the mentioned book include: not so suitable notes for poems, incomplete selection of poems, incorrect explanations for some verses, changing the tastes of words from poems without any explanation about them, deleting some of the sources referred to in the book description, inadequate, inaccurate or unnecessary description, and editorial and writing flaws have been examined. By presenting these problems, the author hopes that the authors of academic literary excerpts will pay more attention to their writings and dress up the book from the mentioned problems in the subsequent editions.

Selection of excerpts from ancient texts and explanation of their difficulties in the form of academic excerpts for teaching in the field of Persian language and literature is one of the works that has increased in recent years. Accurately selecting parts of texts and explaining their difficulties can help students better understand ancient texts and of course, the preparation of such books requires a great deal of expertise and a great deal of care and patience. Shahnameh's book (1) Shahriyar Namvarnameh published by Samt Publications is the result of the attention of prominent Shahnameh scholar Sajjad Aydenlo who has provided a well-deserved book for students. Despite the many benefits of this book including selecting three stories from the Shahnameh instead of one, arranging the contents of the book in a decent volume for one semester, designing important topics related to Ferdowsi and Shahnameh based on the latest Shahnameh researches and..., there are some shortcomings in its compilation that have been addressed in the present article. These deficiencies include the shortcomings of choosing the verses for the excerpts of the stories, the failures to explain and explain the verses, and the shortcomings of the version used in the excerpts, and the lack of explanation about them. The author hopes that by revising these shortcomings, this valuable book will become more disciplined.

The purpose of writing a literary university selection should, as a rule, be to briefly acquaint students with the ideas and art of the great masters of Persian literature in order to increase their motivation to refer to the works of these masters. Book of Four Masters by Dr. Kazem Dezfoulian, published by The Organization for Researching and Composing University textbooks in the Humanities (Samt Publications) for the poetry of Iraqi Literature, is one of those excerpts whose publication, unfortunately, does not meet the expectations of the academic community. Choosing the wrong poems, misreading some verses and misinterpreting them, incorrect or incomplete explanation of some verses, not paying attention to the incorrect recording of some words and the lack of explanation about them, and a lot of typing mistakes are among the most important shortcomings mentioned above that keep the book away from the sophistication expected of a college textbook. In the present article, part of the book’s many shortcomings is discussed under the heading of “disorganized” and “inexplicit,” and the author hopes that with the attention of textbook writers, more attention will be paid to overseeing academic publishing centers and fixing these bugs in future releases.
