here's my letter, feel free to take it as inspiration if you would like to write to them as well...  there is also Robert Laffont Canada so it could be pertinent for you.  |

- they have been working already over one year on questions of digitising their catalogue.
- there are two parts to the problem which must be addressed distinctly :
1. the digitisation if the catalogue, which is long and costly which they are currently working on. the Collection Bouquins, including the books by Léo Malet, is at the heart of this work. (yay !!!!!!! i am overjoyed to hear this)
2. the sale of a digital catalogue is much more complexe because of legal and commercial questions (authors' rights, price of an ebook, partners...)
He says they will soon begin to sell their first ebooks (yay !) but the Collection Bouquins (so, Léo Malet...) will not be among them yet (aw.  )
so, overall it's good news ! but i must be patient for a while longer... arg, that is so hard !

Mais c'est merveilleux tout ça! I would never have expected you to get a reply so fast. Okay, the books you wanted are not yet available but they might, by recieving your letter, put them in the 'To do ' pile!
