Well!! The era of good translations of Verne has begun, but it seems there
is a lamentable time lag in the process of getting those translations
properly marketed and distributed!! It aint just a problem with 20,000
Leagues, either. Looking for Mysterious Island at the local Barnes & Noble,
I find the same awful old translations with the inane name changes (Smith to
Harding, Harbert to Herbert, etc.), and you still have to special-roder the
Stump OR the Kravitz version, which are the only two English translations
worth more than the paper they're written on. I guess there is a certain
amount of, comme on dit, sheer inertia in the book distribution business!
