Dear Friends,
I was in Paris for just a day recently and couldn't partake in all the Jules Verne goodies, but there is alot of JV activity there at the moment. First, there's
a stage musical based on 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea; then there's a revival of Around the World in 80 Days (incendently, it must be the hottest play
in the world now. Not only was there a run at the prestigious Wesport Playhouse, and then Baltimore, but apparently there will be a run right here in
Norfolk at the Wells Theatre in the Spring. If anyone wants to come or create some sort of NAJVS event around it, I'll be having coffee with the director
in a few weeks to see what I can do to help). Lastly, the daily newspaper Le Monde had an interactive game on its last page everyday inviting readers
to follow along with Phileas Fogg's trip by identifying where he is from a quote they provided from the novel...Cheers, Peter

Norm -

Let me second that. I think you are providing a valuable service to the Verne community by making some of these harder to find novels available again. I have already the Hector Servadac and Clovis Dardentor books and they look good.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Joe

Dear Norm

Just wanted to give you a big thanks for your reprinting of the Verne novels. As a casual Verne reader, it's always interesting to read some of Verne's more obscure books, and the illustrations for 'North Against South', 'Clovis Dardentor' and 'The Will of an Eccentric' are all beautiful.

Hopefully, you'll be republishing more of his rare novels soon!

Warmest regards
Michael
