Hi All, I am under the impression that customs allows for two liters of vodka (alcohol) per person to be taken out of Russia. Can anyone confirm this?

The first order arrived piece by piece within a week and the second one got here in a single package in literally a few days (ordered over the weekend and had it by Friday). Judging by the other responses, I may have lucked out both times. The shipping costs are pretty hefty though - up to 30-50% of the value of the books, in my case.

They have a huge inventory both in-store, online, and in their warehouse.. All the major English Teaching companies end-up buying all their teaching and regular reading books there. You can use my English Teacher's discount name and number to get a 15-25% discount. I am listed as ( п■п╬п╩ -21135 ). Anyone else may also take advantage of my discount. No one will question you about it. If you or anyone have any problem call me immediately and I will confirm anyone as a current client. If you like any book at Biblio-Globus (very expensive) or Moskva (moderately expensive) at 8 Tverskaya call Britannia for their price. Even without my teacher discount they should be cheaper for the same book. The reason - lower overhead and huge off-site warehouse. Happy St. Patrick's week to everyone. Hope to see you out there on the parade route this Sunday around noon. Remember, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day and during its parade. A Leprechaun law: "The brighter the green you wear the luckier you become". Note: My book discount offer has no time limit. May the Luck of the Irish be with ya always <!:).

They will order for you whatever you want. Nice people as well. Strongly recommended. If you buy a lot regularly (like me) you will probably be offered, without even asking, a 5% discount. You can easily park nearby as well. Jim Thu, 18 Mar 2010 11:20:10 +0300 письмо от Svetlana Reznik <[email protected]>: > > What is the best source of English language books in Moscow?
