Byloe i Dumy

[Michael Denner]

Dear Kenny,

ABE Books (www.abebooks.com) lists 20 copies of _My Past and Thoughts_, many
of which are the unabridged version, and many of which are under $20. The
books are sold by independent bookstores, and I've always found that the
merchants are happy to answer any specific questions about the book (its
quality, whether it's abridged, etc.). I've also found it very convenient to
just call the merchant directly (phone numbers are provided), pay with a
credit card over the phone, give them my coordinates, etc., rather than
dealing with the Internet interface.

Also kstati, I've always had great luck finding exotic books in Rusistika
through ABE -- never any Russian-language ones (there aren't many listed),
but there's a remarkable selection of books on linguistics, history, etc. in
French or English (and probably German) -- ABE has hundreds of bookstores in
Europe that have put their entire collections online.

I suppose this is one upside to the downsizing of our field -- readily
available tomes of learning.
