Just to let me know that searching Amazon Books for SharePoint (my standard search) isn't enough, I was pointed at three new (to me) SharePoint CD and DVD courses when I did a search for SharePoint but of the whole site.

It might be worth having a quick look at the three new ones (item numbers 174, 175 and 176) at the B. Courses section of the Books page

(http://wss.asaris.de/sites/walsh/Lists/WSSv3%20FAQ/V%20Books.aspx)

After that search had shown that I was missing a few things, I thought it might be time to do a new search of the German and French Amazon sites as it had been a while.

That too was worthwhile. There are very few books on SharePoint in French and German that aren't translations of English language books, but the search on the French site found another one that will be out (like so many - do they know something I don't know, as it seems late to me?) in the first quarter of 2009

That one is "SharePoint 2007 - Personnalisation, développement et déploiement (in French) (Editions ENI - Stéphane Eyskens, Ludovic Lefort)" at

http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/2746046725/wssfaq0fe-21

 and of course it's available for Pre-Order already.

Meanwhile the German site also managed to produce a couple of new original German language books (although I'm beginning to think a couple of the ones I've listed for years (!) will never arrive.)

"Access 2007 und SharePoint im Team (in German) (MS Press Germany - Dirk Grasekamp)"

(http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/3866456514/wssfaq0e-21)

is due in February 2009 (and for selfish reasons, as I have a chapter and a half on Access 2007 and WSS 3.0 in my own book, I hope it won't be earlier!) but the other

"Praxisbuch Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (in German) (Hanser Fachbuchverlag - Dirk Larisch)"

(http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/3446417079/wssfaq0e-21)

is due in December this year.

There were also a couple more books translated into German promised, including the very good

"Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 - Best Practices (in German) (MS Press - Ben Curry, Bill English, MS SharePoint Team)"

(http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/3866456506/wssfaq0e-21)

which should be out in December with a bit of luck, plus (out already) the translation of the Ed Hild, Susie Adams book called in German

"SharePoint-Lösungen entwickeln: Intelligente Office - Dokumente mit.NET und Share Point"

(http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/3772364896/wssfaq0e-21)

Enough for the German speakers to be getting on with for a while, I think.
