Dear Colleagues,
For a book project on the history of trade across the early Soviet borders, I am trying to trace the paths of some key commodities.
Furs and pelts (Siberian mink, Altai squirrel, karakul sheep, etc.) were a mainstay of both official and contraband trade. They flowed out across much of the Soviet frontier, from Finland to the Far East. They were dressed, sold, and resold in Leipzig, London, and New York.

The only unfortunate thing is that the publishers, I. B. Tauris, have very recently been taken over by Bloomsbury. This has caused some disruption and the list of potential reviewers I compiled for them seems to have got lost. So: if anyone might be able to review this very interesting book, or might be able to commission a review, please write to me, including their postal address!
Dear Robert Chandler,
This sounds fascinating. We'd be very interested in discussing a possible publication, or doing a co-edition with someone if you already have a publisher in mind. We're UK-based publishers specialising in Russian art/culture.
Kind regards,
