Good homes sought for the following Russian books


1 x Oxford Russian Dictionary (bought for £35, will sell for £20 + postage) (has a bit of writing on it, but nothing that will make it impossible to use)

1 x Comprehensive Russian Grammar - Terry Wade (bought for £25, will sell for £15 + postage) (again, has a couple of notes in it, but nothing that will make it impossible to use.)

1 x Book One Nahchala (Начало) Lubensky et al. Excercise book and CD. (perfect for those going to study Ab Initio Russian... Especially at the University of Manchester, as that's the book specified in the course directory). (Bought for £30, will sell for £20 including postage)

1 x 501 Russian verbs. Bought for £10, will sell for (£5 incl. postage).

They're suited to intermediate/advanced learners of Russian (with the exception of Nachala) and are on most of the British university reading lists for the subject. (Possibly the same abroad, I'm obviously not sure).

Whilst I'd prefer to send the books within the UK, I will consider posting to Europe/US/wherever, so long as the buyer is prepared to pay the postage... as they're very heavy books.

Before anyone has a go and tells me to use eBay, I'd sooner the books be offered to serious linguists first, eBay/Amazon market place second.

Confusion.

*sigh*

I feel like an idiot, but I am a mere second-level Russian student. I am nowhere near fluent or able to understand half the Russian I read.

Can someone fluent in Russian please tell me what this (00xyecoc_list) is? He/She/They keep adding me and taking me off... And I can't really read what the info or posts say to any great understanding. =;_;= Is it a good thing that they add me? Why do they take me off and put me back on all the time?

Also, random Russian journalers keep adding me as friends, and a lot of them seem to be fellow friends of this giant 00xyecoc_list. What does this MEAN?

And why am I being added? Is it because of the...sliver of Russian writing I have in my profile? (Which basically just says what my nicknames online are in very basic Russian.)

I just want to know if this is good or bad. =;_;=
