Agreed. I suspect that not a lot of people KNOW about this book, though.Unless we could find a translator, though, there's really no point in any further disccusion. Just another one of those "ideas"...

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.

We would sellChristel's book bundledwith this translation.I think a major portion of the draw of Christel's books are the fabulous pictures. I've seen the german copy of Echinodorus and it's got pictures galore. Not having read it in a few years I can't say for sure, but I have a feeling that the Echinodorus section in Aquarium Plants is sufficient for all but the hardcore Echinodorus afficianado. We're really have to do it with full color photos to get maximum interest from it.
