TITLE: Manin's algebraic geometry textbook?
QUESTION [17 upvotes]: Context: I recently chatted with  a postdoc from russia, and we somehow got on the topic of learning mathematics and textbooks, and he told me about a wonderful textbook by Yuri Manin, on algebraic geometry which was written at the beginning of the seventies and wildely used for a long time in the former SU. He was so full of praise that I decided to check it out.
Now the problem I checked  our library catalog and amazon.com and can't find anything that I can identify as this AG-textbook. 
Question:
So does this book exists? What's it's title? Was it maybe not translated?.
Q2:
If anyone has anything interesting to say about the book this would also be appreciated.
PS: I also speak german so if you know a german translation please also post.

REPLY [11 votes]: There now is a book by Manin Introduction to the theory of schemes (Translated from the Russian, edited and with a preface by Dimitry Leites) recently published by Springer based on Manin's lectures on algebraic geometry mentioned in David Roberts' post.
