hi mike and Gary, thanks for your answers. I don't mind at all if the books are in english i was just wondering if they do exist as well in french sothat maybe i won't miss some details. I do have the one you mentionned edited by Tetra but haven't find more in french, i mean books specific on dwarfs. I'm planing to invest in some english ones. Every advise are wellcome. thanks for your concerns.
