problems finding "Heart of a Dog" and "The Naked Year"

[mshevche at UMICH.EDU]

Dear Colleagues,

For a course I am teaching in the Fall, I ordered through our  
bookstore Bulgakov's "Heart of a Dog" and Pilnyak's "The Naked Year".  
This is what receiveda as a response:

"After searching various databases including Books in Print and  
Amazon.com, I'm afraid we cannot find any available versions of either  
"Heart of a Dog" or "Naked Year." There are various editions and  
copies for sale on the internet from individual sellers (selling  
through portals such as Amazon.com).  We cannot order from those  
sources, but studenst certainly can, if you find that necessary for  
your course.I'm sorry we're not better help on those two titles, but  
they do not appear to currently be in print."

I was very much surprise by this outcome. I understand, Pilnyak might  
not be widely taught, but Bulgakov?

I would very much appreciate your thoughts/suggestions on this issue.

Thank you very much in advance and have a wonderful year ahead!

Sincerely,

Mila Shevchenko
University of Denver
