We ask for an English translation for the book: Amphibien und Reptilien des Griechischen Festlandes by Benny Trapp

Hello all herpers and friends of reptiles,



My name is Grigoris Deoudis and I am the owner of the Greek Portal for Herps. Many of you maybe you have seen the book "Amphibien und Reptilien des Griechischen Festlandes" (Amphibians and Reptiles of the Greek Mainland). The book has excellent photos and with the little Dutch that I know, I can tell that this book has on field work and observations by Mr. Trapp, very interesting citation (extends to 6 pages), and in depth analysis in every species of the Greek Mainland. In every species one can have a relish to awesome photos and text that extends to 3-4 pages.



Unfortunately the book has published only in German language, but there are many people who are interesting for this book.



Therefore, this is the reason for this petition. If we can collect a considerable amount of signatures, we can "ask" from the publisher to give it a second thought and publish the book also in English language.
