I doubt I'll be learning French anytime soon. I hope it comes out in English!

YOu think a person could read it if they had, say, two years of French?
By the way, Olaf, how did you order it? It's not available on amazon.de or amazon.fr.

I had 3 years of French in high school and college and I can read most of it, although slowly. You'll quickly pick up some of the description-related words, such as "tache" (spots). Most of the biological words are similar to English or you can figure them out from context, for example "14 sillons costaux" = 14 costal grooves. A lot of scientific words are similar in all languages, and the text is written fairly simply.
The best way to order it from the US is probably to contact Jean Raffaelli directly. I think he gave his email address in one of the posts on this thread.

Thanks, Jen! I did notice it. I thought maybe by now it'd be on amazon, but I reread the thread and see I misunderstood something, that I can order it easily.

Thanks for sharing! I contacted and purchased direct from Jean and must say that this book is an absolute treat. Clearly a life’s work realized with high quality photos and descriptions of species I did not know existed. Pretty spectacular. Highly recommended!View attachment 94342View attachment 94343

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside:Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation+1

Clareclare:Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?+1
