The publisher estimated 3,000 copies to make it worth while!
Extract from an email back in 2018
As my colleague already told you we published the book in German only, and as the book is more or less handled by AUDI TRADITION (it’s a book which they are responsible for), I would have to talk to them first, if they might be interested in an English translation. But to be honest, the book has many words, meaning the translation cost would be immense and the print run would have to be 3000 at least.
Thanks for that reminder, which hopefully puts this latest discussion on the topic to bed.
As I believe I said in the original discussion, the only way a translation becomes viable is when there is significant demand in the US. Given that the A2 has never been sold there, and still can't be privately imported under the 25-year rule, this seems highly unlikely.
