Thanks so much. Is there someone out there who could scan "Ilf and Petrov's American road trip"? I managed to get some 50 pages from Google Book search, so we would only need a 100 or so more. Maybe someone else could try and grab what they can with Google Book Downloader, cause every time I tried I got somewhat different pages. Maybe if 3-4 ppl tried from other locations we could put together the whole book. Here's what I got http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X6BVUIH6
