Inside the Labyrinth of Books

Old Dhaka is home to a curious mix of wholesale markets. For books it has Bangla Bazaar, a street stretching to about half a kilometre with a couple of narrow alleys on both sides. Right at the entrance is a modern building, Mullick Tower belonging to Mullick Brothers, one of the oldest bookshops of Dhaka. But the oldest of them perhaps is Islamia Library, which was established as early as in the 1920s-30s.
