ULBG Chapter 4 - Now available in French - For FREE!

Filed under: — site admin @ 1:03 pm

Earlier this year an Italian Edition of The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide was released. And while there isn’t (yet) another full edition in additional language there is one complete chapter now available in French.

This translation was undertaken by Didier Enjary. I recently posted an entry about Didier’s miniland scale model of Napoleon. Miniland scale is, of course, the focus of chapter four so it’s appropriate that Didier asked if it was o.k. to take on the task of translating that particular chapter. Didier has been incredibly supportive of ULBG and his ongoing efforts to spread the word about the book are sincerely appreciated by me. He has posted the French version of Chapter 4 on the FreeLUG site.

Of course, the Italian publishing rights are spoken for but translation rights for other languages are still available. If you’re a LEGO fan interested in seeing ULBG published in a language that’s familiar to you then you may wish to pass along the idea to a publisher in your country. Interested publishers are then encouraged to contact No Starch Press.

Again, thank You to Didier for making this new sample of ULBG available!
