to Wurger : I am glad you have complemented my information as the details you provided were not really featured in my resources. You are right that AJ Press books are very popular here, especially after the recent inprovement in print quality ang graphic. I buy the books in the original language, not in Czech. I have not problem reading Polish as I have been Polish books for more than thirty years now and our languages are very similar.
