Hi Al,

Yes, I think so. The Hungarian version was very well received by both professionals (like Ákos Szabó, who won 4 trophies in Telford this year) and the beginners. On our local forum there are a lot new guest, who started to build something because of this book as a piece of styrofoam, some tempera paint, toilet paper or white glue can be found in almost any household. I do not the level of price-consciousness in other countries, but in Hungary if you can build it on your own instead of buying a half-ready box for 15-20 Euro, that's a huge decisive factor. When we made the photos I felt myself like a child waiting for the magician's next show, it was so spectacular for me as László made something perfect usually from a piece of garbage.

Okay I'm just in from work and have posted the story here before I've had my dinner- how's that for dedication?

Looks like a fantastic book.
