I have a photocopy of the English-language Mistress Branican (as well as a 1st or early copy in the collection) and I have recently scanned this and am cleaning up the pages. I don't know if it will be worthy of a Lulu.com reprint or simply a PDF.

Mistress Branican is of interest to me because the plot starts in San Diego, California, my home town. I took my copy of the book for the 80 Days photos and held it up in front of the Star of India during one of our stops.
