Hi Bob,   The Translation Booklet is not quite what I was told, no extra pictures or text just a straight translation for the book, but still a good buy.  £7.50 plus postage.
Also if anyone's interested still got a few Books left to sell.

Brian,
Haven't figured out another way to get this book that is any cheaper or going to a better organization, so if you still have a copy with translation  tell me the Paypal address and amount, I should pay my membership as well so give me the price for that also.

Hi Brian,
Sorry been out of contact for a while, last post seems that you have the translation not all it was cracked up to be.
But still interested and will take one if still avalable.
Pay via Paypal as easiest way to do things just confirm final amount and who I pay
Kindest regards
Bob

Dear Simon ... Who said anything about criticism?

I don't think that it would serve a purpose for me to be in any way critical of such a great book.

Please do develop your thoughts ... "so, there are things I would have liked to have seen that are not there"

I think the book is great too.

As an avid Mignot devotee, I feel like I've died and gone to heaven.

Ok, so there are things I would have liked to have seen that are not there, but on the whole 5 stars from me

Glad you like the book, and yes that is a figure of Mr Henri Mignot himself  by Jacques of GE

Book received today.

In my opinion, it is just great, better than I had feared following a mixed feeling review posted above.
Not just an illustrated catalogue, there is an interesting introduction part too.
It is true that I am a Mignot fan, as you can expect from a Parisian that discovered the flat tin figure 40 years ago, at the Au Plat d'Etain shop, that was at that time rue du Vieux Colombier near place Saint Sulpice. The shop still exists, but it moved rue Guisarde, not very far. They carry only the full round Mignot figures today of course.

As a gift, toghether with the book and booklet, there is also a 54mm figure, Mr Mignot apparently ?

Brian, thank you again

The book is nice. Of course I am a Mignot fan. But I don't really learn something new. It should be nice if the author gave an exhaustive list from all Mignot flatfigures.

And do you think of the book ? Bob posted a mixed review. Interesting to have a second view.
