- the Demand is good, but a book from the shelves emptying. So it was in the first days of sales of the new novel by Victor Pelevin or the international bestseller “Shantaram”. Many buyers came for the novelty of the morning, and now less interested in her – probably all at work, – said “Fontanka” the merchandiser “Bookvoed na Vosstaniya” Yuri Genkin. – Expect a new influx of customers in the evening and in the morning, when St. Petersburg will receive more information about the book from the press.
