Default G. Harry Stine - Foreign Editions

With Leo's amazing help I recently acquired a copy of G. Harry Stine's "Handbuch Des Raketen Modellbaus". I needed Leo's help because Amazon.de wouldn't let me purchase the book from the U.S. Thanks again, Leo.

Surprisingly, in spite of the title, the "Handbuch" is NOT a translation of the "Handbook of Model Rocketry" . Instead, it is a translation of Stine's "The New Model Rocketry Manual" from 1975.

Here are the particulars (cover scan below):

Handbuch des Raketenmodellbaus (Taschenbuch)
ISBN# 0-668-04030-0
ESE Electronronics and Scientific Equipment
Hasenmoor, W. Germany 1977
Paperback

As far as I know there were no hardback editions published.

For anyone interested, here are the particulars of the only 2 other foreign editions of Stine's work of which I am aware.

Missili Con Propulsione A Razzo
(Italian translation of The Handbook of Model Rocketry - 2nd Edition)
Translation by Guido Antolini
U. Mursia & C.
Milan, Italy
1969
Cloth

I know the book did not have subsequent editions but I don't know if there were paperback editions.


Livre - Le Livre De Référence De L'Astromodéliste
(French edition of The Handbook of Model Rocketry, most likely the 6th edition since the cover picture is the same)
January 1996
Translation by Jean-Pierre Seingier
Editeur : Tradu-concept Genre : Fusées ( aéronautique) Langue : français EAN13 : 9782951024403

I've never seen a copy (if you have one you'd like to sell, let me know ).

Any further information anyone has regarding G. Harry Stine foreign editions would be appreciated.
