hi im looking for some advise. i have an old book in my sticky mitts, the flyleaf has some penciled translation...author m lermontov, complete works poetry,vol 1, poems 1828-53, academia moscow leningrad 1936. the book is 539 pages russian(crylic?) text. there are a few line drawings and monochrome illustrations and a couple of what appear to be folded copies of handwritten poems on larger paper stuck into the body of the book. binding is a tad fragile but its still in one piece.
anyone got any suggestions of how to proceed??

I doubt it's worth much. Lermontov's one of Russia's great poets, and I think the state print runs of sanctioned books by that point would have been pretty hefty.

Obviously if the handwritten inserts are a couple of limericks by Stalin or something you may be on to more of a winner.
