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.

Sharon,

My co-worker called the store that you gave me. They don't have any of the books. However, she said that wasn't a particularly big store and suggested that you call the St. Petersburg Bookstore, 230 Brighton Beach Ave., Brooklyn, NY (212) 891-6778. They are much bigger with several branches and should definitely have english speakers on staff. If you don't reach one when you call, ask for one and they'll get you one.

Good luck.
