    Rhea,

    I'm pretty sure you're the best qualified person for the job, given your background and the fact that you've expressed interest. I suggest translating at least the first page or two of the first chapter, so that we can show the publisher (NTV-Verlag) both that there's an interest for an English version and that we (you) have the ability to do the job well. Also, be sure to keep your translation to yourself and not distribute it... just to keep everything legal before we get their permission. I'll send you more info about my plans via PM .

    Rick

    Just a thought. Maybe we should make this thread a "sticky" to keep it on the front page. We might get more people voting in the poll!

    I think that is a good idea.

    I'd like the idea. I'd also probably get a copy later on. Sounds like a good read.

    That's good, because the more "yes" votes we get, the more likely it will be that we can convince the publishers to print an English version of this book. Come on guys, if you haven't voted on the poll yet, just click in the box! We need that book.
