Borland's German distributor doesn't carry the English Delphi manuals
(Developer's Guide) any more, only the German ones :-(

Does anyone know of a suitable source in Europe? I browsed through some
of the Borland Reseller online shops, but couldn't find any.

Thanks in advance for any hints,

Stephan

If you want to buy on line - shop.borland.co.uk


Not on line, in almost every country in the EU.

no, sorry (I should have stated it more clearly), I'm looking to buy the
printed/bound version (used to be a Developer's Guide/Language Guide combo).

I didn't think printed versions were available for Delphi 8.

It's not a case of "any more". The English manuals have never been
available in print. The German office (my compliments to them!)
produced those manuals.

Hopefully, we'll provide on-demand printing of our manuals in the
future.

There are no English printed/bound books. The German office produced the
books independently. I have a set in my office. They are HUGE, quite
impressive. -m

wow, I had no idea...

So the *English* manuals were only available in Germany through the
German office/distributor? :-)

*Plus* they translated them all into German and produced German printed
versions too?

That would be great!

All the best,

This is all they did.

The topic is Delphi 8. So he means "The Delphi 8 English manuals have never
been available in print."

O.k., got it. What I meant with "not available any more" was that they
were available for previous versions of Delphi.

That's probably just a timing/past tense language misunderstanding.
When I said "never" that indeed means for Delphi 8. "Not available any
more" would mean that they had been available at one time.
