I grew up speaking French, but mine’s rusty from years of disuse… if everyone can give me a few days, I’ll take a whack at translating the back covers and the contents…

Bob Michaels, no infringment of copyrights as long as one does not try to profit off it. Dealing with photos and copyrights everyday, I see nothing in the law dealing with your own personal use at home being translated. The issue will be if someone translates and then publishes it in english, breaching the international copyright law’s in place.

Just an idea, can you use Translation software to scan pages into the computer and have French in English out or will that be an infringement of the copyright?

That’s a shame. Guess I’m learning French now!

From my French colleagues, I understand there are absolutely no plans to publish either of these books or the other earlier ones that many of us have been waiting a lifetime to read in English. The logistics problems (expense of translation, approval of translator’s translation, editing, publishing Heuvelmans’ text heavy and image-filled books) have prohibited past attempts.

Efforts had been in the works for English translations of a few of his books that were only available in French. However, Heuvelmans’ final years were filled with his personal need to approve each of the translators, one of whom I understand was fired, and another one died before Heuvelmans passed away.

Any indication of whether or not we will be seeing an English version?

WOW, very cool, very cool!

I wish I could read French. I hope they publish it in English as well.

I would really like to get my hands on these!

Thanks for the heads up!
