It has been 4 weeks into the book project.
Bing, bing, bing!
Thank you all very very much for your support and enthusiasm! It has been a very interesting and sometimes unpredictable experience. Often, I got neither help nor interest from people whom I expected to be passionate project supporters. And in many cases I received tremendous attention and involvement from totally unexpected people.
There was some media exposure last month:
* Article about my book and Inkshares on FinBuzz (in Russian) http://finbuzz.ru/sergej-grechishkin-vspomnil-sovetskoe-detstvo/
* My article about loving and hating Soviet childhood on Republic.ru (In Russian) https://republic.ru/posts/80271
Also, I was approached by 3 Russian publishing houses, who would be interested in Russian translation and publication. This is early, but nice to know!
Today we already have 555 copies pre-ordered out of 750 target (so 195 still left to go). Now I believe that it can really happen !!!
Could you please think about your friends or connections who may be interested in pre-ordering another copy and share it with them!

Thank you again and have a great weekend!
