Dealer Notes
A beautifully decorative guide to the Iraqi capital, “...Prepared not only for the casual visitor but also for the resident.” It contains a
wealth of information on: the climate, appropriate dress, currency, transportation, hotels, sites of interest, cinemas, churches,
mosques, and bookshops. Notable in its European-inspired graphic style, it covers a fascinating last period of direct British
influence in Iraq before successive revolutions.
