Cyrus Ghani published a bibliography of over 4000 books, articles, journals, and catalogues about Iran written in Western languages and published from 1500 up to the late 1980s. The works consists of two volumes of which the first deals with books and the second with articles, journals, occasional papers, newspaper and news magazine articles, art sale and museum catalogues. There are three sections in volume one: A) History, politics and travel, B) Literature, religion, science, language and western fiction with an eastern setting, C) Arts, archaeology, books of illustrations and photograph albums. Each volume also indices (38 pages) for the two volumes.

About fourty-five pages are reserved for editions of the Rubáiyát, in chronological order, starting with the Columbus edition of 1870 and ending with the facsimile edition of William Morris' manuscript, published by the Phaidon press in 1981.
There are 226 titles listed under Omar Khayyam and in volume I we find Omar in another twenty-five other works. A handful of editions is not listed in Potter's bibliography, and the most remarkable appears to be the Columbus edition of which only four copies have known to have survived. To almost every item Ghani has added his own comment, so that the book reflects in a certain way Ghani's own opinions and views about his country of origin.
