Prehaps I should have stated living in Quebec...... one of my collegues would like to start Atkins but doesn't speak English. She was amazed at my weight loss and is looking for the 90's edition of his book "Le Nouveau Regime Atkins".

I have searched for it everywhere i.e. amazon fr, Ca. Priceminister and it seems that it is out of stock. Needless to say you cannot find it in France and it has been slammed by doctors and health experts.

Would anyone in the Quebec region know where she could purchase it on line ?

Thank You so much as I certainly do not have spare time to translate the whole book for her!

Thank you RC.

She has purchased it from Abe Books (3rd link) They weren't available on the first few ( had already checked previously) and prove very hard to find.

Forwarding a big THANX from her!

Suzanne -that's what I was thinking - 2nd hand books but way too complicated from a Canadian store. Thank You anyway !

She lives in France. When you're in need of a French book you can often find them on amazon ca.

Thank You for your

Abe books has always come thru for me--that's how I obtained 2 hard copies of the original Atkins, 1 hard copy of the original Protein Power.

Abe books rock!

I'm really glad I was able to help. I got an original '72 edition Atkins online as well as lots of other low carb books.

An extremely prompt service at that ; 2h30 hours to find it ! Thank You.

She is very dissapointed that she can't become a member of this forum as I've told her how helpful it is..........
