Neobychainoe puteshestvie Petrushki na lunu [Petrushka's Extraordinary Journey to the Moon]
A rare and finely illustrated children book, with an interesting original story related to the fate of the Russian émigrés in Berlin (and elsewhere). A very good example of the first edition.
BAKHAREV V. [pseud. for Vladimir Petrovich MAKHNOVETS]
Kak derzhat sebia na doprosakh [How to Conduct Oneself During Interrogations]
A practical handbook for revolutionaries caught by the tsarist authorities - pretty unusual theme and rare on the market. Attractive example of the first edition, with provenance.
Two issues of a very rare, almost home-made magazine for Russian émigrés in the US.

Iumoristicheskii chtets-deklamator. Polnoe sobranie samykh luchshikh stikhotvorenii [Humorous Reader-Reciter. Complete Collection of the Very Best Poems]
Small-format émigré edition to make the Russophones in America laugh. Extremely rare: no copy traced except one in St. Petersburg.

Rodnaia Zemlia, Sbornik 1-2 [The Native Land; First [and] Second Collection]
Possibly the earliest appearance of Nabokov in the West - together with several works many other important authors. A fine example in original wrappers.
First printing of the first "legal" Russian edition of this famous Nobel Prize winner. A lovely copy of Pasternak's masterpiece.
A scarce, very early pamphlet with important excerpts from Pasternak's celebrated novel - banned in the USSR and published here with help of the CIA.
First edition of this important cycle about the Revolution and the Civil War, impossible to publish in the USSR and even abroad for several decades. A very good copy.
