Hi! In article <1k0ci4EINN4eg@uni-erlangen.de>, lsmichae@cip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de (Lars Michael) writes: |>>For the price of the Profibuch (80.-DM ~ $50 per 1200+ pages) you should |>>be still 'liquid' (in money terms) enough to also buy a German dictionary. |>Isn't that a *big* ignorant?

Maybe you know someone who will translate the german Profibuch into english. Maybe you will find someone who will launch the english book. Solange Du aber niemanden findest, musst Du es auf deutsch lesen. Duerfte fuer Dich ja kein grosses Problem sein. No doubt it were silly to write an english book for german readers. Most people like to read books in their own language. Aren't you? Maybe it's SYBEX's opinion that there are not enought readers for an english Profibuch. If this is wrong - tell SYBEX. |>English is established as the international language for scientific and |>computer science books, that's because english is a language that is |>spoken world wide. And that's why computer books are usually written in |>english. Yes, english is established as ..., an english is spoken worldwide. But if I go to China and can't read their books, it would be *MY* problem. Even if it is a book about computer science. Wie dem auch sei - lesen bildet. ketchup
