Our print sourcing office in Hong Kong, MPAL, is challenged by its publisher customers every day. The latest is a request to quote for the delivery of textbooks to Sulaymaniyah. It is just possible that not everyone knows where Sulaymaniyah is and so I have pasted in a map of the area. You may have to move the map around a bit - it's more or less due East of Kirkuk.You will notice the preponderance of neighbouring towns with (destroyed) beneath their name. As I say, we face challenges every day.
A colleague has just reminded me of the apposite motto of the New York postal service:
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."
