In regard to finding hard-to-find VN books, they can all be easily found
via one of the internet used/rare book sites such as abe, alibris,
addall,
bibliophile, bibliofind, etc. But the three Doug Thacker wants are
available only at collectible prices. "Poems" had only one edition in
1959 and was never reprinted alone. "Poems and Problems" was reprinted
in paperback and might be found cheaply. There is no "Collected Poems"
in English. (Many of the Russian poems have been collected in many
Russian volumes over the last decade, sometimes even including the
English poems.) And of the four volumes (all issued separately) of
lectures (European, Russian, Quixote, Ulysses), only Ulysses has never
been reprinted in paperback. But it is not a regular typeset book but
only a volume facsimile of VN's lectures issued as a numbered limited
edition.
