Dear Stuart,

Many thanks for the news! I systematically revised the translation from the
OUP version in the light of the reviews and comments from Art Evans, John
Breyer (a geologist) and others, as well as information from the manuscript.
Michael Crichton's introduction is very illuminating, both about Verne and his
own writing.

I'm unable to get a copy myself for the moment but will tell members in due
course if I find a way for general purchase.

Best

Bill
