Thank you very, very, much, Ausjulius.
Guys, any idea of how to translate it?
I tried copying each column of the PDF text and pasting it in a free on-line translating service (it doesn’t accept more than 150 words at the time).
It works surprisingly well. Not like a human translation… anyway it’s better than nothing.
BUT it’s a slow process.
Huh, the title is ‘Weapons of the people of the Caucasus”.
Regards,
Phil

Hi Rick,

Using Firefox with the Adblock extension I didnt’s see the girls…
I can see them now, using IE.
Well…
Just ignore them and click on
“DOWNLOAD
COPY OF______________.PDF
FROM OUR DEDICATED SERVER”
And wait for a while until a dialog box will pop up asking if you want to open or SAVE the file.


If anybody needs the automatic- translated index of the book, here it is
(I had to adjust the page numbers because there is a discrepancy between the book and the PDF file):

Thank you again, Ausjulius:I stopped my efforts to translate it at page #7!

Are you planning to translate it as a separate text or inside the PDF?

The site I was using could be useful for you too:
http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr

Remember, Babel Fish translates text up to about 150 words at a time, but it can speed up your work.
Regards,
Phil

Dear Norbert!
If you have problem downloading this file from filehost here is second link on rapidshare:
here

CHOOSE 'FREE' and on new page one of the servers.

Book seems to be great! Thank you once again Julius! I'm just translating this on Polish with Russian-Polish translator and thanks to many similarities in semantics of both languages it's quite clear for me . Thought translating this on English could be pain

Regards!

PS. Julius, I hope you received email from me. I attached many pictures inside so if you have any problem just let me know

BTW, what are the other books on Caucasian arms? Can anyone provide any titles of books or catalogues one should read? There seems to be so little printed on this matter.
Thanks

Sorry Tim, I hit the wrong button; edit instead of quote.

Here's what I intended to respond with :

Haha Tim , here in the States we call it male Fantasy # 2,345,602

Might be a fantasy, but I know a gentleman in Australia who married two sisters, and they all shared the same bed.

I know a woman in Jawa who was the second wife and was chosen by the first wife for the sole purpose of providing her husband with children, as the first wife was barren.They all slept in one bed too.

I take my hat off to both these gentlemen.

One wife at a time is all I could ever handle, even in my wildest fantasies.

Thanks loads for the link to the book. Must brush up on (or re-learn) Russian. Also, thanks for the translation link. Hard to get books on the Caucusus (even when in the Caucusus!).
