Merci Volker pour ton soutien. Ton appréciation des commentaires des 2 Pléiade consacrés à JV a dû , je pense, ravir les contributeurs de cette réédition. Ils constituent en tout cas un précieux témoignage sur sa qualité. La grande question est : Gallimard envisage-t-il une publication des 100 volumes (environ) des VE? Cela ferait, si je ne me trompe, environ 20 Pléiades ... un sacré challenge.
Amitiés,
Jean-Pierre

Dear Volker, thank you for your support. Your very good comments about of the commentaries and notes of two JV Pléiades books had, I think, delighted the contributors to this edition. They are in any case a valuable testimony to its quality. The big question is: does Gallimard plan to publish the 100 (approximately) volumes of VE? This would, if I remember correctly, about 20 Pléiade books ... quite a challenge.
Best,
Jean-Pierre

> je te donne pleinement raison et personne n'aura à se montrer choqué de tes propos. J'ai été surpris de voir apparaître, l'un après l'autre, les fameux Albums sur ebay, à des prix... ébouriffants. Toutefois, surtout pour les étrangers, en particulier d'outre-mer, il est difficile de s'assurer un exemplaire dont l'offerte est limitée à un mois et à des conditions (3 vols. alors que 2 seulement sont consacrés à JV) peu agréables, vu le prix des volumes. Je pense que la politique des albums Pléiade y entre aussi pour une bonne part.
> Pour continuer sur un ton moins lugubre, je trouve les commentaires et les notes des deux volumes extrêmement bien faits; des pédants (non seulement dans le sens péjoratif du terme) trouveraient toujours des détails à corriger, mais cela ne change rien à cette réussite littéraire. L'album de Francois Angelier donne une bonne synthèse biographique et une iconographie qui essaie de quitter les pistes habituelles. Chapeau!!

> I agree with Jean-Pierre in regretting the way how the Album Pléiade is sold on ebay for a high price; anyway, it's difficult for interested readers to get a copy otherwise. The commentaries and notes of the two volumes are a real success, and the Album offers a well-documented biography with interesting images

> L'album JV "gratuit" revendu quasiment au prix d'un volume de la pléiade neuf, voilà de l'argent facilement gagné !... surtout quand le vendeur est un particulier qui ne paie pas de taxe sur le chiffre d'affaire comme un professionnel. Les albums de la Pléiade apparemment sont l'objet, dès leur sortie, d'un trafic qui dessert son objectif initial càd, si j'ai bien compris, d'aider les libraires indépendants. Je ne suis pas sûr que notre grand Jules apprécierait ... mais il savait déjà que les lois de la la nature (dans son sens le plus large) sont a-morales ... et ce ne sont pas les principes de l'idéologie néolibérale dominante qui vont changer quelque chose en ce domaine ... bien au contraire :-)

Actually I am looking on a good number of them offered at ebay.fr, but additionally to the price there is almost allways a high amount for postage...

I am not sure that Internet merchants such as Amazon et al. offer the same service. I personally got my Pleiade "Album Jules Verne" in a FNAC book shop (buying the 2 JV vol. and the Edgar Allan Poe vol. "Oeuvres en prose").

I am not sure how this works by mail, but it would be worthwhile asking the seller about it. The album was edited by Francois Angelier and has splendid images and photographs I had never seen. I could make additional inquiries about the album if anyone is interested.
