Pathfinder booth at Erbil book fair attracts interest

Militant

For the first time Pathfinder Books of London participated in the Erbil international book fair in this capital of the Kurdish region of Iraq April 5-15. More than 100,000 people from Kurdistan, the rest of Iraq and elsewhere in the region attended. At its booth, above, Pathfinder sold nearly 500 books in English, Farsi and other languages. Next week’s Militant will run coverage on the book fair and conditions facing working people in the Kurdish autonomous region there.
