Gerard, we already have an entry in our catalog for this book along with a cover and some preview info. See here:

http://www.ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=39&ParentID=4&ContentID=311&Item=1000+Cameras+from+USSR+by+Viktor+Suglob

Price-wise, I would guess it'll be in $50 range... but just a guess... Russian comes out end of this year, English version next year but it will also include section on Homemade and Fantasy cameras to which I am hoping to contribute couple of camera from my collection, already sent him images.

I have found Viktor Suglob in St.Petersburg recently. As we can imagine, he's very busy with the new book project right now. I was asked to forward his Best Regards to you and promised to answer everyone personally just after he returns to Minsk.

Aidas, it's not so critical as so to call him... he'll reply when he has time.

Thanks,
Vlad

I sent Viktor a mock-up for his book advertising in internet, but I had no return. Also his homepage in no more active at lesat one month. I will be glad in hearing news from him, mainly because I want to buy the new Russian Edition book.

Gerard,
I was among the lucky guys to see this museum personally ... it was amazing!!!

Vlad, you should start organizing camera-lovers group to Belarus
The only question - if president Lukhashenka will let you back home afterwards ...
