Actually there are thousands of Esperanto books in print: UEA's catalog has
around 8 000 and this is by no means *all* books currently available. And
approximately 400 new Esperanto books appear annually.
ELNA's book service offers 900 or so titles; but we are a small organization
which tries to handle the basics, and stuff that appeals to Americans.
