Sad End of Kamkin Bookstore

[Scatton, Linda]

Fellow Slavists -
Yesterday, purely by chance since I'm no longer regularly purchasing
books in Russian, I learned of the horrible demise of Kamkin Books in
Maryland.  It was shocking to see a picture of books dumped out like
trash and to read that there had been no way to salvage much of the
Kamkin inventory.   A follow up report says the Russian Embassy is
trying to rescue some of the books.  I don't recall seeing any mention
of this on SEELANGS, so thought I would alert subscribers to this very
disturbing turn of events.  For those who are located nearby, perhaps
there is some way to help make sure that the books find their way to
grateful readers.  See these website reports:
