- The place I used to get these is also out-of-business now--maybe this
- same place?

- In any case, I hear from some Russian sources that are local that
- there's a store in Rockville, MD (Washington, DC suburbs) called
- Victor Kamkin, 4956 Boiling Brook Pkwy in Rockville
- tel # (301) 881-5973
- only some of Victor Kamkin's books are translated to English
- though. Apparently these books used to be fairly cheap but
- have gotten more expensive since Russia went capatalistic. :-(
