Field notes
The catalog is divided into subject shelves and also links to author and bookstore directories. Product cards show prices in Iraqi dinars and sometimes ratings, while the page identifies Baghdad delivery and prompts readers to check service to their province. A separate resale prompt lays out three steps—photograph a finished book, set its price, and publish it—though the extracted page does not show the listing flow itself.
