This is what is written on the business card of Oxford Bookshop. English teachers can buy many teaching and academic titles here. And I thought I wouldn't be able to buy anything to supplement my teaching, dissertation writing. I bought these 2 books on syllabus design for $6.00 USD... But I won't be returning to stock the university library because as the card suggests, these books were bought, copied, and bound by a copy center in Erbil and resold for this low low price as were all the books. We also found DVDs...

What we didn't find was books for learning Kurdish of any travel information on Kurdistan. B and I both noted this and M agreed that he had thought about writing something. Lonely Planet's Middle East guidebook has 1 paragraph on Erbil. M told us that Iran's in much better, but that it is outlawed in Iran. Travelers may take it into the country, but you won't find it sold there (except maybe in the same kind of photocopy/bootleg establishment).
