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.

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.
