Looking for input: Foreign Language Editions

[rolanni]

So, I'm packing some things, on the somewhat shaky theory that packing some stuff up will convince the hearth gods that we're really serious about this moving thing.  Also because, having some things packed up ahead is bound to make things easier when it comes time to move, and, the way our luck runs -- generally good, but tending to splash slightly outside the lines -- we'll get an offer for Exactly Our Asking Price, but! we'll have to move in the shortest possible time.

The thing that I'm packing up at the moment is The Magic Closet in my office.  This is where we keep two or three copies of all of our books (that we've received.  For instance, we never *did* receive a copy of the Polish edition of Conflict of Honors, in which Shan is depicted in the cover art as a rifle-toting saber-toothed tiger.  (Here's the art.  Yes, it is on Seasons of Plenty.  In English.  Then, presumably, the artist resold Polish rights.)  I really wanted a copy of that edition.  But I digress.)

So, I have some extra copies of a few Russian language Liaden books and also some German editions.  To wit:

In Russian, I have:
4 omnibus editions, including Agent of Change, Conflict of Honors, Carpe Diem (this would be the Russian edition of Partners in Necessity)
2 copies of Crystal Dragon
2 copies of Conflict of Honors
1 copy of Balance of Trade

In German, I have:
5 copies of Flucht nach Lytaxin (Plan B)
2 copies of Showdown fur Clan Korval (the first half of I Dare)
1 set of 1 book each: Flucht nach Lytaxin, Showdown fur Clan Korval, Korvals Nemesis (the second half of I Dare, including short story "Moon on the Hill")

Now, my question is:  Does anyone here want any of these volumes (note:  by "want" I mean "willing to pay for the book and the postage")?  So, let's start there, I guess:  If you want any, or all!, of these volumes, drop me a note at rolanniATkorvalDOTcom, and we'll work out how best to go forward.

(holds up hand) my nephew can read both languages, but I would love to get him the Russian omnibus (and suitably inscribed too of course) and am willing to part with real money for both the book and the postage. I would like to know what the costs of the Germans books are too..

The German books are spoken for. I'd be happy to set aside a Russan omnibus edition for your nephew. Cost for the book is $8, media mail postage is $4; Standard $6; if you needed faster than that, then we'll talk.

Would you like to drop me an email at rolanniATkorvalDOTcom so we can work out the remaining details? I'm pretty sure you don't want to post your mailing address on an open blog.
