Dear Art,

Many thanks for all the kind words! I'd meant to post an announcement on the forum as soon as Amazon had copies to ship (and to sell at a discounted price); as of this moment, they don't. I'm pleased at how the volume turned out. Since the old Cashell Hoey rendering is heavily abridged, this is the novel's first complete English translation ... plus, I had the advantage, this time around, of instant access to the manuscript at the Bibliothèque municipale de Nantes, which helped me solve a number of textual riddles.

Again, Art, many thanks. And I'll let the list know the instant I see that Amazon (and SUNY Press) are ready to do reasonable business.


Very warmest regards,

Rick

  Dear Vernians,

  Just a brief note to call attention to Rick Walter's new Verne translation _The Sphinx of the Ice Realm_ (Excelsior 2012). I just received my copy, and it is a very handsome edition indeed.

  Congratulations, Rick! Yet another "rescued" translation and a wonderful addition to Verne scholarship!

  Best,
  Art
