US Customs ate my package

Nothing like that was mentioned originally. Sounds like a broken promise to me.

You mention that this “courtesy” is free.
Well, if the price is right , I am willing to pay.
How much do you want?

I see you don't understand my bad English well. That's why I'm going to write to you both in English and in Russian, which you know very well. I don't sell English translations. I give courtesy to those participants of the forum who do not know Russian, sending them a translation of the book. I hope you understand now. And one more thing. Not all questions can be solved with money.

Я вижу Вы плохо понимаете мой плохой английский. Поэтому напишу Вам и на английском языке и на русском языке, который Вы точно хорошо знаете. Я не продаю перевод книги на английский язык. Я оказываю любезность тем участникам форума, которые не знают русский язык, отправляя им перевод книги. Надеюсь теперь Вы поняли. И ещё один момент. Не все вопросы можно решить при помощи денег.

Duplicate. Sorry, the button on my iPad overreacted:-)

You can understand it the way you want it. Although I've explained the reason more than once. Including in your native Russian

I had no problem with the delivery of the book!!!
It was sent on 23/03/2019 from S.Petersburg and on 01/04/2019 I received it at my home in Denmark.Apparently stress comes more in some countries and agencies

To all those who have been sitting on the edge of their chairs wondering if I'd ever see this book, you can relax now.

It arrived in Customs October 10, was released to the USPS on November 15, was attempted to be delivered November 16(!) and picked up from my post office this afternoon.

A lovely book; the gorgeous illustrations make me eager to read the text in translation. I'm like a starving man standing outside a fine restaurant, staring through the windows at all the delicious food.

Thank you, Dmitry!

I'm glad it worked out, Bob!

Sometimes you need to be really patient with the carriers and, more likely, customs and other authorities.

Regards,
Kai

Got it: you just do not want me under any circumstances to have English translation of your book. Why, is of course your decision and your problem. But that’s OK.
Thanks for the messages.
