I inherited a large (to me) collection of books from the USSR from my grandfather who immigrated here. Do you know how someone could find a collector or something who would appreciate them? I'm not looking to make money here, I just don't want the books to stay on the shelf of someone who will never read or appreciate them.
replyAny idea of the topics?
replyWe could host them, I personally have a collection of about 2k Soviet books, about 6-7k in total.
replyDo you have an email? Most of these are going to be medical books. Would love to connect.
replyYes, please write to us at mirtitles at the rate gmail
replyIt’s amusing how many of us on this thread are South Asians (you surely must be from “At the rate”, and I recognize some commenters here to be so from other conversations and others from their names). I wonder if we were the top English readership for this publisher.
replyVery cool.
reply(Love to also see a collection of Soviet Life magazine. What's out there, that I have been able to find, is pretty slim.)
Magazines are tricky to get hold of, as they were ephemeral and not seen to be of lasting value. Two magazines which we have been looking for are Misha! (though some volumes are there) and Science in the USSR, ( I distinctly remember one with interviews about great Lev Landau by his colleagues).
replyMisha and Soviet Woman were quite common in the 80s. I remember that the paper and print was much better than what we were used to.
