Shadowrun Product Reviews: French books

The French translation of Shadowrun is published by Jeux Descartes, a French company that translates many other English-language games and publishes originals of its own. All prices shown below are in French Francs (FF).

Jeux Descartes have a website at http://www.jeux-descartes.fr, from where you can go to the Shadowrun page by selecting the Catalogue link at the top of the screen, and then the Shadowrun link the the frame on the left. Or, the URL http://www.jeux-descartes.fr/cata/shado/shado.html will take you directly to it, though you won't get the frames the page normally has.

The snail-mail address of the company is Descartes Editeur, 1, rue du Colonel Pierre Avia, 75503 Paris Cedex 15, France.
