When I look back at the story, this certainly is obvious so I'd sure love to think/hope/believe I read it right but then made an editing mistake when I wrote the post! Lisa C.

Short of going to Russia to get them I can't find anywhere that sells them online (amazon and booksinrussian.co.uk were incredibly unhelpful). Thanks!

And the illustrations are wonderful.<br /><br />Other good books about the city: Julie Buckler's <i>Mapping St. Petersburg: Imperial Text and Cityshape</i> and W. Bruce Lincoln's <i>Sunlight at Midnight: St. Petersburg and the Rise of Modern Russia</i>.languagehathttp://www.languagehat.com/noreply@blogger.com
