Russian textbooks in USA
Does anyone know if there are any stores/libraries in US where I can look through Russian textbooks? РКИ (русский как иностранный) учебники. My local library doesn't carry them at all. Buying them online - you never know if you gonna like the textbook. I actually like to see the book, look through it, and then buy it online if I like it.

I would appreciate any info.

Thank you.

Answer

You MIGHT be able to find something at a Barnes and Noble or other major retailer...I would look at online reviews for textbooks. You may not be able to read it yourself, but I've found, at least with my Japanese textbooks, that when there are many positive reviews the book is often worthwhile.

Answer

I think you're only likely to find such items in a heavily Russian community such as Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York.
