The New Penguin Russian Course
by Nicholas J. Brown
A reader from Los Angeles, CA: Great book...great method... As far as learning a
new language goes, I think that starting with being able to read it is equally important to
being able to speak it. They go hand in hand with adult education. I was sick of discovering
that most of the Russian books out there are devoted almost entirely to teaching you catch
phrases to "get you going". This book starts with the alphabet. It is detailed and actually does
"get you going." Russian is a tough language to learn, but this book will help you through it
without condescending you. I would highly recommend it for people who are serious about learning
the Russian language.

Random House Russian-English
Dictionary of Idioms
by Sophia Lubensky
A reader from Monterey, CA: This is a rare masterpiece in the Russian
language! Having taught 100's of Russian students in the military, it was
rare for me to recommend a general, must-have dictionary. Any student or
professional in the field of Russian language must acquire this book! Dr.
Lubensky's painstaking efforts at this complex and often-misunderstood area
of the language are remarkable, and the depth and breadth of her research
are reflected in this massive tome!

501 Russian Verbs : Fully Conjugated in All the Tenses Alphabetically Arranged
by Thomas R. Beyer
Synopsis: For the student of Russian or the traveler who needs a more comprehensive
information source on verbs, here is the book to recommend. Arranged one per page in Cyrillic type, each verb includes
English pronunciation and translations. Features over 1,000 verbs.
A reader from St. Louis, Missouri: This is a necessary reference book
for all Russian students. This book leads you through all conjugations of
the two infinitive verb forms. The only problem is, sometimes, locating the
necessary verb is difficult in the index. I recommend this book for all my
students. It is especially helpful with the command forms.

Wedded Strangers: The Challenges of Russian-American Marriages
by Lynn Visson
A reader from Lakewood, Ohio: When I ordered this book, my US born husband said it's probably going to be
useless for us as it sounds like it is targeted to the Americans who marry the "mail order brides". I was pleasantly
surprised though to find out that the book was very informative and helped me sort some issues out (mainly reassuring me
that having these sort of issues is not 'just us'). The author has been married to a Russian, so she has an 'insider'
prospective of the matter. I thought the descriptions of the cultural differences were pretty accurate, with lots of real
life examples (I can relate to many of them). And now that my husband and I have our first son (1.5 year old) I can't agree
more that you face the biggest challenges when you start raising a child.

Russian dishes, it also provides a history of Russian food and culinary life.

VERY tasty. Excellent book. It is so easy to use and it is so
well-organized. Without much experience in cooking, I always came out with
tasty -- "real" Russian -- dishes when cooking with this book.
A reader: The best Russian cookbook. A very
comprehensive and well written Russian cookbook. I am very involved in
Russian cooking and have read and tried recipes in most of the Russian
cookbooks available. Every book has its strength, but this is by far the
best overall.
