Dear Members of the Jules Verne Forum
The NAJVS (North American Jules Verne Society) late dear friend and member
Ed Palik generously donated his entire Jules Verne collection to the Society
for the purpose of raising funds to translate into English Verne works that
have never been translated into English. Ed wished to have NAJVS sell his
collection to the membership and Verne enthusiasts so that we could raise
funds for the translations and, at the same time, give the membership and
Verne enthusiasts an opportunity to obtain works that are rarely seen in the
marketplace.
