A new edition is forthcoming in the near future. Many commercial
gliderports offer this popular book, and they will appreciate your support during the present economic downturn. Tom Knauff

Tom
I read a friend`s copy a while back and now want my own. Do you know when the new edition will be available? I will be glad to buy it from you as I have used your service before with great results. Bob

Tom Knauff Let's hope the translation is better - I have a copy of the original edition and it's a real chore to comprehend! "Fumulus", anyone? That being said, it is an excellent source of information. Just needs an native english-speaking glider pilot to assist with the translation and editing, IMHO. Ducking and running.... Kirk 66

No need to duck and run. The German translation is even worse... despite the listed three German editors in the imprint! That said, if you are willing to pay a hefty price and dig your way through a poorly structured, lousy edited and mediocrely manufactured book, you'll find a lot of useful hints in there.

through a poorly structured... book, you'll find a lot of useful hints in there. For a taste of the book, within the M-ASA Convector newsletter archives from 2007 (March thru December), OC provides a good overview of the 8 required skills for a competition pilot as cited by the Brigliadoris.
