It says it's out of print now so if there's not going to be a reprint then I suppose he has nothing to lose.

The main problem for me is that it's all in French.

Shame there's no English version.

I think the author proposes other books so makes good publicity.

Is it supposed to be comprehensive (ie. the best sites globally ) or is it just - the authors selection ?

I think I need to update my acrobat

If I was cynical I could believe it was to take wind out of other's sails...

I recall reading somewhere that so many of the North African ones are, sadly, now & for the foreseeable future inaccessible for political reasons, that a reprint would have made no sense.

I bet you know some ctags they've missed out - would your Vallorcine crags merit ?

I don't think they've included the Neouvielle Espades - which according to some merit National ... European ... no, Galaxy status! But little heard of outside the Pyenees I guess.
