The typeface is excellent, and the photograph's composition is superior. I do like the lighting of the Spanish one, though I daresay "The Cemetery of Prague" is more likely to have the chilly bluish lighting of the original rather than the Spanish version's warmth.

From what I can figure out by glancing at the Italian cover description, it sounds awesome.

That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco

But that's not to say there won't be more difficult Italian words he doesn't know.

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent.

Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English.

It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do.

Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more.
