Eastview Information Services http://www.eastview.com/ does very well by us. We went to them exclusively when our previous vendor failed. Our approval plan ticks along with no problems at all.

I used http://www.russianthings.com/books/defaulteng.htm Russian
Publishing House when I ordered Russian language materials for a public
library 3 years ago. They leaned more towards popular fiction
(translations of American/UK authors and fiction originally published in
Russian) but did a fair amount of history/memoir as well. All of their
books had ISBN numbers, which made them easier to catalog/search if you
don't speak Russian and are selecting Russian materials!
Also, assuming they still offer their paper catalog, I found it much
easier to use than the website. Each title had a brief annotation, and
for the fiction not in translation, gave you an idea of the author's
popularity/genre if you weren't up on Russian bestsellers. Not sure
about approval plans, but they definitely court the library market so
chances are good they can do that.

Villanova has used East View for a few Russian firm orders. East View also apparently offers an approval plan, but I have no experience with that. Perhaps worth investigating.

Subject: [ACQNET-L] Book vendor for Russian language books?
In the past we've used Szwede Slavic Books in Palo Alto, CA for our
Russian language book ordering. We also had an approval plan with
them. They appear to have gone out of business, so we're looking for
recommendations for a new vendor who can offer an approval plan and
handle firm ordering.
Thanks for any suggestions.
