A total of about 266 books about Doukhobors of the highest quality are for sale in Vancouver, B.C. as a lot. You may never see a Doukhobor book collection like this again.
For 24 years I have built it under the guidance of the B.C. Doukhobor community including the Russian program at the Castlegar school.
In my travels to sell books to the schools in the Kootenay region of B.C. I have met many Doukhobor people and I came to deeply admire their ideological commitments.
These items are for sale for the regular market price which is over $100 for some books. As a collection it is clearly worth much more, but if an institution or university or individual wants to buy the entire collection (with multiple copies of each book) the price of each item will remain the same.
Buying the collection or even just one copy of each will save a huge amount of acquisitions time and the huge payroll costs of purchasing each title individually.
The government now has the funds for support now of our wonderful Canadian Doukhobor culture and history. But you will need to hire the right grant writer.
I do not have the time to make or provide a list of these books. I want the buyer to visit and see the great quality of this collection.
The collection can be viewed at 1818 Quebec street (near Main St.), Vancouver, B.C.
