This is not a proper answer to Ben Rifkin's request, but people might
still find the following useful.

A senior of mine did a mini-project last year on Russian immigrants
to the US, and he really enjoyed looking through this guidebook,
which has parallel Russian-English texts with info on the INS, taxes,
getting a license and registering your car, voting, getting credit or
hiring a plumber etc. It's a big "kirpich" of a book (it's even red) 
with
tons of everyday vocabulary.
