I am attempting to learn to write Slavonic for reasons.

I managed to find a referral to a "ductus book" ("how to write
letters, stroke by stroke"):
"A????? ?????????????? ??????" ???? ???????? 2008

("ABC of Old Russian Writing" Petr Chobitko 2008)

Peter is a master Russian Calligrapher, and apparently nearly unheard
of outside the Russian calligraphy world. Not surprising.

I did find the cover, and related images, but I would like a hard
copy, without having to printout several dozen jpgs.

Topping it all off, my Russian is no longer up to the task of
searching on-line. Be that as it may, any suggestions fro buying
"foreign language" books on-line? I don't have the time in my schedule
to go to St Petersburg and prowl book stores.

Amazon, naturally, is no help.

Other than suggesting abebooks.com, I don't have anything helpful to suggest. I wish you the best of
luck
