Sorry, perhaps I didn't make it clear enough.

We would sell CHRISTEL'S ORIGINAL GERMAN BOOK, complete with its beautiful 
pictures, unmangled by Krieger.  Bundled with it would be our little black 
& white English translation "script".  Yes, people would have to "read 
along".  But they would have a translation.

I do not think the AGA has the resources (financially or otherwise) to 
publish a book at this time.  I would estimate the interest in the 
Echinodorus book for our members in the 50's or 100's, not the 2500 needed 
to justify a print run.
