From Russia with Alice

Michael Leinz has sent me a link to a story in The Moscow Times about Lewis Carroll in Russia. He singles out this sentence:

"The dark-blue book with a key on its cover was coveted by everyone, and its black-market price amounted to an engineer's monthly salary."

And adds: "If only books were prized that way here and now!"
