I read on another site that this French publisher is now insolvent. Is this true?

Philippe, to clarify, do you mean that they are being taken over by another firm or a financial manager and that no further editions will be issued until the end of this month?

John,

I translated this from their website. I suppose they are trying to sell themselves to another company and wish to maintain their active/passive status quo till negotiation is settled. Their balance and their turnover seems to be very healthy in 2014...

Thanks, Philippe, sounds reasonable.

AFAIK, the Commercial Court agreed of a take-over by another publishing company. Activity should resume after the deal has landed.

I hope this happens. They have produced many fine books.




Best,
Ed
