Louis: I've looked at the excerpts on your web site. It looks very good. Congratulations.
By the way, I've formatted my reply in plain text. That way, the links you provided are clickable (which they were not, at least in MS Outlook, in the HTML version).

The book, with the general public as target audience, has just gone out of press under the title "la grande m�trication". 210 pages , ISBN 2-913197-74-4, price 15 � (shipping costs not included). I don't appreciate much the picture on the cover, somewhat too striking for my taste, but what matters is what is inside, is it not ? You may see some extracts of it at : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/louis.jourdan/metrication/metrication.html The book will on the bookshops' shelves in France, Switzerland and Belgium (I am not sure about Quebec) from May, 15 on. At the same time it will be available from http://www.fnac.com/ and http://www.alapage.com/ Alternatively, from now on, you may order it , yourself or through your bookshop, directly from the publisher : France Europe Editions Service MAN B.P. 4049 F - 06301 NICE CEDEX 4 Tel. +33 (0)4 9326 9093 Fax. +33 (0)4 9326 6653 or http://www.france-europe-editions.com/ I have sent a copy of it to Mr Pierre Defraigne, head of cabinet of Commissioner Pascal Lamy. My contribution to the cause... Louis
