Dear Stephan,
The bbok seems like a rather European affair at the moment, if you look at the internet bookshops that have it for sale. Here is the list
bookshop.co.uk
uk.bol.com
bol.com [Dutch]
ottakars.co.uk
countrybookshop.co.uk
studentbookworld.com
boeknet.nl [Dutch]
amazon.co.uk
gillihams.co.uk
amazon.de
Attention
Powells.com [zShops at Amazon.com] This is maybe as close as you can get to Canada.
Let me know if you get it!
Sincerely,
Hans
=====================
: This book sounds like a "must have" for travellers to Ukraine. Unfortunately I searched the Chapters/Indigo (largest Canadian bookstores) website and it said that this book "cannot be ordered". Any idea of how to get a hold of a copy in Canada? Thanks.

: : When I flipped it open, I happened in the Humor and Language section. I found this under Communist humor:
: : "At a press conference Brezhnev boldly announced: "By the year 2000, every citizen will have his own airplane."
: : A heckler in the crowd interrupted: "What do we all need airplanes for?"
: : Visibly irritated, the Sovjet premier replied: "Idiot! Suppose you are in Moscow and you hear that they have potatoes in Kyiv.
: : Now if this is not travel related, I'll eat my hat.
