Does anyone hear anything regarding Jet publishing something or has that ship sailed now?

Ordered it but, even do I did French for a year at uni, I fear reading a complete book in French is a bit out of my league nowadays.

Fellow Dutchman Marcel (Firebird on these forums I think) has one of his photos published in this book.
Really happy they asked me to send in some photos, handpicked by the man himself 😃

so l they should publish an English version
"they" would have to find a publisher that sees a market to get this translated, printed and marketed - I'm sure that market is there but how many copies would they sell? There's a couple of publishers with a good music list and a couple of specialized publishers. Perhaps the writer and his agent are working on this as we speak?

And do not underestimate how big the band is in France (Feline for example did better there than in the UK if I am not misinformed.

There does seem to be a lot of interest in terms of these various TV / radio broadcasts, though I'm not sure how big a station like FNAC is in the French market.

Maybe you're correct - I don't know. I just recall seeing some performances with that name alongside them, and presumed they were some kind of broadcaster.

I trust some UK publisher will pick this up to translate and publish if it's a bit successful
