As you have noticed yourself, it's quite hard to find information about neem contraceptive products.
There is a list of links concerning alternative medicine in this address:
http://www.fimnet.fi/linkit/Laaketiede/Vaihtoehtolaaketiede/index.html
Perhaps you can find there some further information about these products, and places where to buy them.
You can also visit the homepage of Finnish Medical Association.
http://www.laakariliitto.fi/e/index.html
You can ask there if they know any doctors, who can tell you more about these contraceptive products.
If the book you're asking for isn't found in the stores, ask the staff if it can be ordered for you. I checked websites of the two big bookstore chains, Suomalainen kirjakauppa and Akateeminen kirjakauppa, and according to their internet stores there are available prints of "Der kleine Prinz". Akateeminen promises to have it in 1-2 days, via Suomalainen kirjakauppa it takes 2 weeks. Contact the stores for more info.

Public libraries in Finland celebrated their bicentennial in 1994. The founding meeting of the Vaasa Reading Society in the Province of Ostrobothnia on the west coast of Finland took place on the 2nd of August 1794. Although the reading Society was originally meant for its members and partners, other people were also allowed to borrow books for payment. The Reading Society in Vaasa was thus both a "proprietary" and "subscription" library. (Ilkka Mäkinen: Reading Societies in Finland, in Yleiset kirjastot Suomessa. Vaasa 1994, p.104)
The library of the Vaasa Reading Society can be considered to be the beginning of public libraries in Finland. The first public library in Helsinki was founded in 1819, and in Viipuri a public library was…

In Wikipedia there is an article on time travelling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel. In the end of article there are many links to relevant websites.
Here are few books about time machines and time travelling:
Davies, Paul: How to build a time machine. London : Penguin, 2002.
Le Poidevin, Robin: Travels in four dimensions : the enigmas of space and time. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2003
Gott, J. Richard: Time travel in Einstein’s universe : the physical possibilities of travel through time. London : Phoenix, cop. 2002
The English language originate from the dialects, now called Old English, which were brought to England beginning in the 5th century.
