I'm very curious how it will look like. I met Edward Brumgnach a couple of years ago, when he just decided to do this translation, he was so enthusiastic, and maybe not completely aware how hard work it could be. He is of Istrian origin, and I hope that Istrian dimensions of this novel will not be forgotten.
Will this edition be illustrated?

BTW, speaking about Sandorf: any information how ROH-press reprint edition (http://www.rohpress.com/sandorf.htm) was accepted in USA?
