Some of these books are unvailable in general bookstores... Anyway, you should be able to find them in several online second-hand bookstores or through Amazon (just follow the link). You could find some russian books on eBay. I would firmly advise you to compare prices before buying the book you are so desperately looking for... sometimes it could be twice the normal price.
