• Foriegn language book sources?

    From Nikolai Petrovich@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 21 13:35:48 2020
    I am attempting to learn to write Slavonic for reasons.

    I managed to find a referral to a "ductus book" ("how to write
    letters, stroke by stroke"):
    "A????? ?????????????? ??????" ???? ???????? 2008

    ("ABC of Old Russian Writing" Petr Chobitko 2008)

    Peter is a master Russian Calligrapher, and apparently nearly unheard
    of outside the Russian calligraphy world. Not surprising.

    I did find the cover, and related images, but I would like a hard
    copy, without having to printout several dozen jpgs.

    Topping it all off, my Russian is no longer up to the task of
    searching on-line. Be that as it may, any suggestions fro buying
    "foreign language" books on-line? I don't have the time in my schedule
    to go to St Petersburg and prowl book stores.

    Amazon, naturally, is no help.

    Other than suggesting abebooks.com, I don't have anything helpful to suggest. I wish you the best of
    luck
