Books about Audacity

Peter 15Dec15: Christian Brochec's book appears to be no longer available on Pearson's French website - so should we comment this out pro tem - or just delete it? I will try emailing Christain about it. Gale 03Jan16: The book appears to be discontinued. Rather than remove it, I linked to some copies on Amazon.
