Buying Religious Books from Persia

I just received a book I ordered from either an American or a British company (I forget which). It came in an outer wrapper from Dubai, and the inner label is:

New Book Sale
PO BOX: 15875-8573
TEHRAN-IRAN

Is warehouse space really so much cheaper in Iran? Or is it the English-trained handling labor?

And the book? --Philosophy of Religion- Selected Readings.

Labels: Economics, Islam, living, religion

I've set up this blog for myself, as a commonplace book, with the idea that it might also be useful for outside readers. That is why the topics are idiosyncratic. I see that most of my readers are directed here by Google searching rather than being regular readers.

I will delete rude comments, and will give less leeway to anonymous comments than to signed ones. I will for now at least allow stupid and ill-informed comments, though other readers don't enjoy them unless they are so ignorant as to be funny.

I will revise my posts freely, usually without any note that they've been revised. If I make an important mistake in a post that I think people might refer to, I will note the mistake and correction. But I'm not trying to make this a historical record. In fact, I'd like to merge posts on the same topic and delete posts not of interest a year later, except that I never get round to doing that.
