Liad in Russian, Part Two

[rolanni]

As reported Elsewhere in this Journal, we recently received the Russian edition of the novel known as Balance of Trade (aka Commercial Balance, according to the Babelfish translation, which is...charming... in a demented sort of way) from Meisha Merlin's agent. This was very pleasant and we did truly rejoice in receiving it.

We were subsequently made aware, by _aisling_, that the Russian edition of Crystal Soldier (aka Soldiers of the Crystal) was already in print, which was...interesting, since we have not yet seen a copy. One thing led to another, which finally led to this, and the realization that, in addition to Crystal Soldier, we have never seen Russian editions of Local Custom/Scout's Progress (aka Local Custom/Way of the Intelligence Officer) or of Plan B/I Dare (aka Plan to b. derzayu).

So, the plea -- can someone help us acquire these books? If you can help -- or can think of a way to help (there is, for instance a Big Russian Language Bookstore in New York, but their website is not very friendly to non-Russian-language readers and their phone service is, um...less so) -- accomplish this, drop me a note.
