Hello,
Can anyone help me with some web-pages where I can order second-hand Russian language novels - preferably that wouldn't cost a lot to send to Australia?

I've been meaning to buy a book which I already have in English, and learn via checking between the two, but this keeps getting delayed and delayed because I have such trouble finding books which I already own copies of - and often online searches don't allow Cyrillic.

For instance, I have just read Leonid Tsypkin's Summer in Baden Baden in English and would like to try find a copy in Russian.

Are there any particular websites that are good for this (I often use Abebooks.com for English books) ?

Thank you.

I don't know about such sites, but if reading online is an option, try one of the online libraries (lib.rus.ec, flibusta.net, lib.ru). I am sure you will find your book on one of them.

Russian books are usually cheaper than English, so check out these sites for new books. Also, do search online sites as listed in the comment above.

I suggest that you do not bother yourself with russian post service and just go straight to the online stores (or libraries if piracy is not an issue).

Online content rocks.

depending on where you are in Australia, I'm sure that there are Russian-language book stores in cities with large Russian-language immigrant populations
