The 'Iqra'a' bookstore on Mutanabi street has more than tripled in size in the last two years, and business has grown 50 percent since 2003. But the store's owners say the future is uncertain as long as they can't count on safe streets, stable government and reliable electricity supplies. The future also depends on how the Iraqi police and military manage without the Americans, all of whom will be gone by the end of next year.
