Werner,
Since you are in Germany, maybe you can answer a question I have had for some
time:
Are there any CD ROM catalogues of German language titles? I am looking for
the real stuff: collected works, preferable 19th c. editions of the classics
which possibly no longer carry expensive copyrights–Luther, Opitz, Liebniz,
Schelling, Goethe–even that GREAT series, Deutsche National-Literatur (sp?).
It would marvelous if someone would reprint that on CD-ROM.
Do you know if the Deutsche Buchgesellchaft is still in business? If so, CD
ROM publications would seem a natural for them since they did so many reprints.
I am tired of seeing lists and lists of trivia, games and yet more graphics. I
have great hope CD ROM will not suffer the same fate of television–the 'I Love
Lucy' on 20 different cable channels syndrome.
