Having seen the French books, I can confirm what Jean-Michel says; they're well-bound, beautifully illustrated, and (whisper it softly) _well laid-out_. (*gasp!*) I was seriously considering buying them myself, but my mediocre French acted as a sufficient detterent. I don't recall them being especially expensive, either, compared to the US edition. (Required a three or four way currency conversion in my head, and I don't recall the enumbers, so don't quote me to that.)
Short of getting MultiSim to publish Issaries _english-language_ material too, I'm not at all sure what the moral of the story is...
Cheers,
Alex.
