Re: Monsieur le tigre (Mr Tiger) Indochina

There are scores of french hunting books, but most of them had fairly low circulation. So they are often unknown, and as rare , pretty expensive. Why spending big money for a book one can't know whether it' worth or not? Moreover, the quality is variable.
Note that a French edition could interest very few people compared to English speaking people.
One editor is dynamic, Editions de Montbel, who edits recent hunting safaris and stories, but also reedits old books and foreign hunting books, for a sensible price.
look at the catalog : catalogue de Montbel
I am pretty sure that an audacious editor, blessed by a far ampler market could succeed in publishing in English foreign books.
Though my English is akward, I have read most of the classical English books, and many of my friends would love to be able to read them, should their English be better.
We also are prisonners of our language.

Thanks for the links to French books you Bought in Indochine. Unknown to me? I am offloading one, thanks for providing the link.
I wonder whether I'll try to translate an interesting hunting book in English. If I begin with Google translator and then correct the translation (at my humble level) it could be fun for the forumites..........should the copyright police not single me.
