I have a possible lead about maybe finding them. Just gotta get around to actually sending an email. Otherwise, they're quite likely lost.

You are a certified legend if you find them!

I was the one who managed to find the one at MSU, the Danish ones and got copies of the German ones out and about, as well as the Russian Alphabet lol. This'll just be the tip of the iceberg; it's been a bit of an obsession finding these books.

In that case it's clear you already bear the certified rank of Legend! You shall then be re-certified to Super-Legend-Ultra-Plus if you manage to dig up the full Russian texts!

There is another book called Lengua Española (looks more like an adaptation of LLPSI) and Ayan Academy just started sharing the audio for it on youtube.

Yes, I've bought the book and sent it to them. It's good, but I don't think it's of the same quality.

Would any other these natural method books be well suited to use on an e-reader? I’ve thumbed through LLPSI and Athenaze in the past and they seem pretty dependent on illustrations and liner notes, which is obviously fantastic for using the physical books. It is problematic on the kindle though.

They can be used, but it needs to be read as a pdf. Really, especially early on, they all require images. But if you can get a good one for reading pdfs it should work (my Quaderno does wonders with it), but they're definitely a lot like LLPSI

I haven't bought one for myself yet but Ayan Academy seems to be providing really good looking hardcover copies.

I just saw their YouTube page. Pretty solid substitute.
