Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes Verne ... some of his best stories are virtually unknown in English-language countries ... there was a great 20-volume edition of his works in German when I was a kid which I completely devoured and can still quote from .... great yarns like the one with the Kilimanjaro cannon or the chase after the golden meteor.
I'm wondering if some of these, now that they don't need to be "in print" in order to be accessible, will become more widely known...
