It’s an interesting outsider perspective on the work, and I look forward to seeing the response to this new French edition, as well as the new Italian edition.

Of course, the English version is still available, both as a book and a download for your Kindle. And if you or someone you love doesn’t have a Kindle yet, Amazon is offering free two-day shipping on Kindles, so you can have them on time for kindlemas (when Kris Kindle brings the presents, naturally). My dad just got one for my stepmother – its resizable text means that any downloadable text is automatically turned into a large print book for her.
