>From Mary Bellino (iambe@javanet.com):

My source for new UK releases that aren't readily available is a place
called "British Books at American Prices," on the Web at
http://britishbooks.site.yahoo.net/britishbooks/index.html.
The last time I used their service I got the Evelyn Waugh/Nancy Mitford
letters a full year before it was available in the US. If they don't
have the book in stock they can probably get it; in either case you will
pay a little more than the cover price. A less lazy method would be to
contact any Canadian bookselle

r; most UK titles should be obtainable
there.

The Grayson biography sounds very tasty and I'm looking forward to
reading it. 

I see that her important book _Nabokov Translated_ seems to be out of
print, or at least is not listed on the Oxford Press USA site; it would
be a great candidate for reissue in either electronic or paperback format.

RE holiday gift items, it's interesting that this book is not available
[yet?] at UK Amazon.com (amazonuk.com), American
amazon.com OR barnesandnoble.com (bn.com).   Perhaps Nabokov-on-line
could ask if anyone knows how to obtain it.  The only
listing at amazonuk.com seems to be l used (or review?) copy, offered by
a third party bookseller.   I do know that these posting at
those websites do take time (based on when their inventories are
received) but since its Dec. 14, its rather unfortunate.
