<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fid, post: 2512728, member: 7724&quot;]nice. it&#039;s all about the English editions they&#039;ve done. </p><p>so you really believe that they&#039;d have survived in Germany - or on the continent - as a company that sold cheaply-made pocket editions in English ? till 1945 most Europeans including the educated upper classes were not interested in English as a language at all. for culture it was French, Latin or to some extent Italian; for technical books and teaching materials in great parts of the East it was and still is German. when working in the then still existing Cechoslovakia in the 1990s I was amazed that practically all engineers still spoke fluently German because places like Leipzig not only printed a big part of the manuals but also offered technical schooling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
