Great news! I can't wait to get this book in my hands as I love volume 1. I hope vol. 2 will be available directly from publisher as was vol. 1 at the begining (now over 10 pcs can be purchased from them)

Hi Marcin,

it must be some mistake, the book can be bought from us without any limitation. That 10 pcs limit valid only if you would buy it as a reseller, but in this case you can get a discount as well of course.

looking forward to this. However I really hope they get a good translator for English. The last volume was really hard to read/understand.

Sorry, but no. it wann't THAT bad, after all, it's a technical publication and, as such doesn't need the deft touch that a novel would need. It was perfectly understandable in my opinion.

As I said in my Review, MY Hungarian is non-existent. God knows how i'd sound in a similar situation! The authors did a really good job...

And finally, if the truth were to be told, frankly, bearing in mind this is an international Site, some of the 'Native' English-speakers should hang their heads in shame compared to many of the NON Native-Speakers. The latter frequently demonstrate a dominion of the language and correct use of grammar which makes those of us whose first language is (supposedly) English hang our heads in shame.

Sorry, but YES. Every one has opinions and I was stateing mine. You dont have to jump on my back with a whipping stick and fend for the authors/publishers. I said I was looking forward to it. Maybe you might reread the 1st one from a beginners point of view. While it was not "that bad" as you pointed out, we beginners could greatly benifit from CLEAR wording and grammer so that we might learn instead of being frustrated. I am NOT critizing your review in the least and got many ideas from the last volume.
Thanks for your review it was insightfull,
NO THANKS for your "English" lesson.
Can we move on now?

Meglátjuk. A terjedelem biztosan nagyobb lesz és a forintárfolyamot sem tudja ma senki megjósolni (a papír, a festék, de még a nyomólemez is import).

Hi Chris,

it is scheduled for November and now it seems we can keep the deadline. And again, a lot of help had been offered for the English translation and proofreading so I'm sure that this time it will be very good too.

unfortunately, not yet. I would be the happiest if should we have, because I know that the individual postage cost is high and nobody like to pay almost as much for shipping as the price itself. But we had an inquiry from a well established company not long ago, so I hope the best.
