I have this book, German edition. I think I bought it
during AGA2k3. I am don't remember that there was a
lot of interest in it other than me and one or two
other bidders. I could be remembering it wrong though
and of course the fact that it is written in German
had a factor in the interest generated.

  It is a  nice book, hard cover about an 1-1/4" thick
with gloss pages, but I am not sure how many people
will be interested in having a black and white
translation to cross index with the text. There are
certainly some of us me included. I am just not sure
how many.


I am not against doing this but I think we should
attempt to limit our efforts to be commensurate with
projected demand.
