Bob,
This is not a new book, it was published in 2007, and has been mentioned and or briefly discussed here before. In fact, it was from a discussion on this forum where I managed to go out to a French based autobook publisher to get it, in late 2010. However, for those of you who don't read French, if you see the listing below, you should note that
Actuellement indisponible means currently unavailable.

Based on Bob's comment, I assume that Pagoda World #14 is released; this is good news but I have not received my copy yet.
For those that are MBCA members, I did write an article for the last Star magazine on the hobby of collecting Mercedes books, and how I've come to find and buy the ones I have. When you see it, buy it--for sure if you don't, you'll be finding things like Bob G--NLA. Now it is time to scour the used book markets...
