Thanks for the info. I looked in addall.com which is a mega-search engine of bookstores and found nothing. However, frequently with these types of searches, only an ISBN will get you a relevant hit.

If anyone has it and can post the ISBN, I'd appreciate it greatly.

The paucity of materials certainly make it a challenge.

Ota silmä käteen ja katso kalmiston Amazon- linkki, ISBN numero siintää siinä heti teoksen nimen alla. ;)

If this book is, as it seems to be on the basis of info on Amazon, an SKS (Finnish Literature Society) publication (?) then it might be a good idea to inquire from them directly... Publications Dept. email is

It is from 1984... looks like the SKS bookshop's list doesn't have it so it probably is out of print.

You could always write to Eugene, and ask him if he has any leftover author's copies ;)

Yeah, it seems to be out of print but who knows if SKS has got a dusty extra copy or two somewhere :wink: It doesn't hurt to ask...

I found my copy in a Kirpputori for 10€ I snatched up so fast that it scorched the cover.
I seem to remember that it is on line in his department at the University..perhaps he could burn it on to a CDROM in exchange for a bottle of his favorite "Oak Aged Red Wine"

"Favorite things"

Food
Sushi, roast duck, spaghetti with anchovies, Thai food in general

Drink
Full-bodied red wines that have been aged in oak barrels
