Two bookstores, side by side along Westwood Blvd.: first is Nashr-e Ketab, and next door is Sherkat-e Ketab (with the "walking fingers" of the Iranian Yellow Pages -- which it publishes -- and a traditional book stand above). Note that although both have signs on the sidewalk pointing out that they sell "Persian Books", neither sign has the name of the store in the Roman alphabet, in spite of there being so many Persian bookstores along this stretch of Westwood Blvd.
