I bought also the book directly from Jacques (at his table in Kulmbach) and I received : the book, the translation (in French en English) and also a flatfigure representing Mr. Mignot himself.

I also have the book and find it a great reference for the wonderful world of Mignot, it is mainly photos I agree but to have these all in one book is just what I need. A short history is there and well worth the read but it is the photos that are the stars of the book, beautiful figures and I still think a must for the Mignot fancier  ;)
 
Now the pre- ordered books, some of us got them direct from Jacques but I still have the ten books that where ordered, no worries but can you let me know so I don't send you out another book and chase you for money ;) 
 
So a few spares are up for grabs if interested   :o

Agree with you Bob
I know there have been many very painful problems with the book
I think the editor tried to do  his best but had to act in a hurry at the end
Maybe should he has stopped the project

Thanks Brian,
 
I would hesitate to do any sort of review of the book, as I know that many people are looking forward to seeing their copy. I ordered this book when it was first muted some two years ago and I do not have the original flyer, so only going on my recollections of what the book promised.

To my mind if you will forgive the pun it is a little bit flat, some of the pictures seen before, most of the figures have featured in other publications and it is really a illustrated catalogue of the known figures, unless I am missing the point nothing new or exciting.
Sorry but you did ask and I can only give my opinion no doubt other people Will take their own view
Kindest regards
Bob

Paris or Plassenburg. It's all the same to me. It's the same moulds.

Also, certain sets are very rare now unless you go for the Plassenburg editions.

I would also like a copy with translation and I will include my membership fee as well( if that's all settled?)  Paypal would be the most convenient, but I'll do what is necessary!

Paypal is fine, but here's a thing, do we class the Mignot sets being cast at the Plassenburg as the real mcCoy? or do they have to have come from Paris  ::) 
 
My idea is the Paris one ;)
 
Just a few I painted earlier

I'm a bit over excited about this. I'm going to have to lie down with a damp cloth on my forehead!

Mignot figures were my first love and I've spent my collecting life trying to complete the collection. I'm not there yet by any means but getting there would be no fun at all.

Always interested in anyone's spares - I have a few to swap
