Re: Books, and many questions

John,

My feeling is that the English edition of Römer's book is being put on hold until
they have enough pre purchased copies to warrant printing the book. I think that
they don't want to be sitting on a large number of unsold books. I believe this is
what happened to Tetra with Linke & Staeck's book. They printed too many and it
took too long to sell them. I get the feeling that most German publishers now are
shying away from publishing their specialized books in "English only" editions
because they can't sell enough copies to justify the expense of translating and
printing them. Translating a book can cost the publisher more than what they pay
the author for the original manuscript.
