At my university they were getting rid of old books they don't want anymore. I found this really really nice brown leather book from 1988.

I don't really know what it is about though.
Firstly it's Belarussian. I didn't realise this until I had a proper look when I got it home. It has got lots of old Russian in it, with Russian translation below. But then sometimes there are bits translated into Belarussian.

On the spine it says:

ФРАНЦЫСК СКАРЫНА
ЭНЦЫКЛАПЕДЫЧНЫ ДАВЕДНIК

And on the inside cover it says:

БЕЛАРУСКАЯ САВЕЦКАЯ ЭНЦЫКЛАПЕДЫЯ
(Belarusian Soviet Encyclopedia)?

ФРАНЦЫСК СКАРЫНА
I ЯГО ЧАС

It does seem to be some kind of encyclopedia, but everything seems to be about Belarus'
