Got the same answer !

However, they told me that the book would be up on Amazon.es so and would be easier to grab it.

So it's up to you guys !

It is very sad, that there is no english version.

In my opinion, the shenmue-community is not big enough in each country for a big financial success. It would be much smarter to publish the books in English for an international audience, so that every fan could read it worldwide.

I´m from germany. I don´t have problems with an english version. But my French is not good enough to read the biography of Yu Suzuki. And I speak no Spanish. Sorry.

I would love to read both books, but it is very sad, there will be no english translation of this shenmue-book in the near future :(

Maybe we need a kickstart to get a english version of this book. I would support it ;)

Well these books are specially made for little success, the publisher just needs to release several works to keep a correct financial health. I guess international editions still means a risk.

I'm more surprised about why North America didn't publish anything yet about the game (or am I wrong ?). In France, I wonder if Benjamin Berget or Régis Monterrin prepare something on their side. Don't know who are the Shenmue specialists in the other countries.

When the saga ends, we'll probably see multiple new wonderful books anyway. Personaly, I dream about a book which analyses the saga game design and culture from a very personal and interesting point of view.

But for now, this Spanish book will be mine. :)

I can't tell if I prefer the red or the white one, leaning towards the latter, I like the thin black letters against the stark white background.

I think the red one is just a cover around the white one mate. So if you can grab a red one you get the best of both. I might be wrong, but I think that was what I read :)

Well, the publishers could always do a Kickstarter for an English edition. We're good at Kickstarters. :lol:

They are asking 19 euros of shipping fees (to France). Damn that's almost the price of the book itself. I want the limited edition but never thought shipping would be so expensive.

Jeez that's very harsh. I don't think I can afford 44 euros for a book that I will not understand fluently. The limited edition was so beautiful.
