Kudos to Mauro
Just received my copy of Mauro's magnificent book and am highly impressed with its quality. No Luger library is complete without one!

I am in total agreement! Very nice piece of work! I wonder if we can look forward to an all english version some time in the future?
Best Regards, Brandon |

Thank you guys,
I have really appreciate your comments. Concerning the translation into English, I am working on that, but it is not easy to find an USA publisher interested in this matter. Any suggestion on this topic is really appreciated. Ciao Mauro

Hello Mauro,
Here is another idea : 1. Prepare an English translation of the Italian text only. It would serve as a supplement to your great LP-08 book that is written in Italian. 2. Make the hardcopy of the translation available to folks that bought your book for a "supplement price". Hardcopy should have a copyright protection. Order through your Italian publisher. This hardcopy need not be fancy. Just a nice typed set of pages to coincide with the page numbers in the book. 3. Make electronic file avaiable, for a price, on your web site as a download-able file...similar to the e-Books...encript the file so it cannot be copied once it is downloaded... 4. Eventually...publish a complete English version of your book... Just my 2 cents... Regards, Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" /> |

I strongly recommend the e-book method Mauro, they are encrypted and can't be copied in their current form so your revenue is protected. You also don't need a publisher. You can do it all yourself.
