@Juan: How do you like Bilike Georgian? Where did you get it from? |

I just received it here so I have not begun using it, however it looks like an amazing resource. It appears to be very content-rich. You can review the different components of the series here and order them from Prospero's Books. You have to write to Prospero's and they'll get them for you. As far as I know, this is the only way of obtaining it, as I even contacted the author and was told to go through Prospero's. Be prepared though for very high shipping fees, as Fedex is the only alternative provided (an utterly atrocious company too, but if one wishes to get books from Georgia, there is no choice).
I don't know if shipping redelivery services for internet shopping which provide a physical address in the U.S. for receiving purchases are widely available in Brazil (they're very popular in Colombia), but if so, you might save some money by sending the books to the U.S. first, and from there to your home.
I have also tried ordering Georgian literature from Parnassus but they're far less responsive than Prospero's, and getting them to reply emails is an uncommon feat.

Wow, you have Elskede Poona in Estonian! I read it in Norwegian, though i'm not sure I understood that much. Is it convenient for you to get paperback Estonian books in Finland? What about e-books?

For almost all of those I've just taken the boat across gulf and burned money in the Rahva raamat-shop in Virukeskus. They often have things dirt cheap that they're trying to get rid of, such as the book you pointed out, and the Edda-translation above, and such.

As a new person on the site I would like to thank you all for this very interesting
thread, particularly the OP. if I go back to find your name I know I will lose my post,
so forgive me. When I can get help to get my language books together I will post a
photo too. I am not mobile just now and so will have to wait for one of my kind family
to help.
