Unfortunately, most of the listings fail to note that this volume is in theFrench language and, worse, that it is a new French edition of a very familiar (and wonderful) coffee table book in English that all Versailles lovers bought back in the early 90's. The dust jacket would make it appear to be something new - it ain't. I am presently stuck with a copy I ordered from Canada. Returning it would entail MASSIVE postage. Forewarned is forearmed.
