Hi Boris,

Something I'm curious about: Why did you decide to write the book in German
rather than English? When I've been to Germany my impression is that almost
everybody spoke English, and this is probably more so among the book's 
audience.
Having it in English widens your potential reader base (it would also be 
confronted
by more competitors, I guess).
