[edit] French wikipedia

Can someone read the French entry to see if there is anything there we could use? Grey Shadow 12:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Done, there was not too much to mine there - but what there was I have used. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 13:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cover

Any idea on how to find a picture of a 1st edition cover? I've tried Google, but turned up blank. I'll have a look at my local library, but the chance of a French language 1st edition being there is extremely remote. Grey Shadow 13:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

have a go - we may have to temporarily go with a modern English cover. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 14:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Added the oldest cover I could find for now. PeregrineV 17:39, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
