Of course, I did and do know what Samizdat were in the USSR.
But as one can see, the term has achieved wider circulation.

----------------------


The book was privately published, and was available fairly
cheaply, when it was available. "Samizdat " as a publisher is a
Conze joke. See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samizdat

As interesting as the first two volume are, it is volume three
that deals with all sort of different personalities that Conze
dealt with over the years and was only to be published after his
death. His "wife" apparently burned it.
