RUSSIAN FOLK BELIEF by Linda Ivanits

[Helena Goscilo]

Kollegi, pomogite!!

This is an academic SOS (as opposed to the usual academic SOBs).  I have
a folklore course with 62-65 students (the semester began today) for
which the first text is Linda Ivanits's RUSS. FOLK BELIEF. Unfortunately,
after hours of phone calls, we've been able to acquire only 9 copies
of the text because it's in the process of being reissued by M.E. Sharpe
and the new edition won't be ready until the end of the month.  The
publisher has been obliging and admirably cooperative, but could only
come up with its last few copies.
Does anyone have ANY paperback copies at all?  If you do, I shall be happy
(ne to slovo!) to pay the cost of the book and all shipping costs if
you'd be willing to send me your copies.  Or, if that's your preference,
I'd buy the new edition and mail it to yu as soon as it's out.  It's a
trifle difficult to conduct a class with 7 students using one text....
If you're able and willing, please apprise me via Email and ship the book
to me at 1015 Portland St., Pittsburgh PA 15206, stating which of the
above options you prefer.
Most gratefully, Helena Goscilo
Note--this is NOT an ad, but an appeal from the edge of the academic abyss
