Hi Stig,
I'm glad you asked. My copy hasn't arrived yet, so when I searched for more information about the book's contents, I found that it's actually available in two different versions:
Two things to note:
The Model Hobby version is described as a dual language book, but appears to have the same number of pages as the VDM version (not sure how that works.) The former is also quite a bit more expensive than the latter.
From the descriptions of its contents, this promises to be the most complete reference yet published on these aircraft. We'll see when it arrives.
In the meantime, here's a list of other useful Gigant resources:
