I think the best thing you can do with English books, no matter what discipline, is to let them travel abroad. I'm Ukrainian and all the science books I can buy have shitty translations. I once bought 20 used books from Amazon and spent $20 on the books, $70 on Amazon shipping, and $110 on air shipping to Ukraine. I don't know how to get English books from abroad cheaper, but at least it was worth it.

Given the situation in Ukraine right now, this might be a bad time to ask…

But I bet if you were to post the address of a local library here (with their permission) you might get quite a few folks willing to pay shipping to send some gifts over.

I live in a small town and the only library we have is school one. Sometimes I visit bigger town but I have not used it even once, most the books I have read is pdf, some of that was bought and some was not. I will try library way next time I have time.

If talking about sending these to me not to library, I do not want anybody to pay for that, also I can pay in crypto or card for some specific books I appreciate and for post inside US. My preferred fields are cryptography, probability theory / statistics, game theory, and anything about old / obsoleted programming langs: Cobol, Fortran, Perl, also compiler design. Moderately desired is anything about electronic design and signal processing. Absolutely super desired is Turing Omnibus, GEB, TAPL and anything about Lisp.
