Showing Support for Mutanabbi Street

Mutanabbi Street, a winding street filled with bookstores and book stalls, is the historic center of Baghdad bookselling. It is the present heart of one of the world’s oldest and most distinguished literary and intellectual communities. On March 5 a car bomb was exploded there, killing more than thirty people.

In support of the Baghdad literary community, a reading will be held at the main branch of the San Francisco Public Library in August. To contribute or volunteer, please write to Beau Beausoleil of Overland Books (overlandbooks [at] earthlink [dot] net).

This companion blog to www.rightreading.com explores the full gamut of print and electronic publication, from conception, research, and editing through design, typesetting, and image preparation, through paper, print, and pixel on to marketing and sales. It seeks to integrate the editorial and design functions, which too seldom communicate effectively. Books, authors, translation, and reviewing are also covered.
