    Hello, Michael
    Am still curious about the print runs of VN’s Russian novels in first edition volume form. I have examples of each; the only mention of a print run for any of them is on the copyright page of “Podvig” – 1000 copies. Do you know the first printings of any of the other novels?
    Thank you.

      If I had uncovered further information about the press-runs of VN’s Russian novels, I would have included it in my descriptions. So, unfortunately, I know no more than what is stated for Podvig. I think you can assume that the other novels had press-runs in the same range as Povig–not less than 500, nor more than 1500. If you turn up more information, let me know.
