In Pictures Bookselling in Baghdad
Books being sold on a street in Baghdad
"The piles of books are very important phenomena in Al-Mutanabi Street.

"These books are collected by the book merchants over the past week. Most of the time they don't know what the books are about.

"They put them in a pile and sell the book, any book, for 1000 I Dinars, or two thirds of a dollar!

"You can find really good books here, but the trick is to get here early."
