We currently use:
Algoritam (janja.vukovic-simic_at_algoritam.hr<mailto:janja.vukovic-simic_at_algoritam.hr>)  for Croatia
                Ulrich Waterstradt (info_at_cxechliterature.de<mailto:info_at_cxechliterature.de>)  for the Czech Republic, Serbia, Slovakia
                Bulgarian Books (bulgarian_books_at_abv.bg<mailto:bulgarian_books_at_abv.bg>)  for Bulgaria
                Otto Harrassowitz (service_at_harrassowitz.de<mailto:service_at_harrassowitz.de>) for anything that no one else seems willing to try and get!

I haven’t seen anything about Algoritam going out of business. How long ago did you get this message? We’ve still been getting shipments from them (last one arrived about a month ago).

Thanks!  We use East View as well for certain things, and it’s our unfilled Kubon and Sanger items I am trying to deal with and most have a publication date of 2012.

Do you know if Algoritam Ltd (Croatia) is still in business? We got a message indicating that they were bankrupt and EBSCO Vienna was taking over the distribution. Anyone get that message as well?

Hi Susan,
We've used East View for many years: http://www.eastview.com.  We used to use Kubon & Sanger for these countries, but they went out of business and East View acquired them.

We have a good cadres of Slavic vendors, but are having some difficulty with obtaining materials published out of Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia, etc.
Could anyone recommend a reliable dealer or two in those countries that can supply books (a bonus if they can deal with OP materials)?

Many thanks.
