RE:Help me! (China fossils catalog & Video)

<<Dear friends,
Please pardon the cross posting.
The Fuhlrott Museum is hosting a traveling exhibition, "Fossil Treasures From
China," ("Fossile Schatze Chinas" in German) from April 2001 until February
2002.  The exhibition features fossils and models representing both the
Chengjiang fauna (famous for its exquisite Cambrian fossils) and the Jehol
biota (the feathered dinosaur and _Confuciusornis_ assemblage).  See
<www.fuhlrott-museum.de/fuhlwebsite/china/china01e.html> (or
<www.fuhlrott-museum.de/fuhlwebsite/china/china01d.html> for the German
version).  I won't be there except in spirit.

The Fuhlrott Museum Shop is also selling "Fossil Treasures From China"
exhibition catalogs, videos, postcards, and posters.  These are mentioned at
<www.fuhlrott-museum.de/fuhlwebsite/Museumsshop.html> (when you click on
"Bucher, Kataloge," "Videos," etc.).  I desperately want to buy the catalog, a
VHS video, a set of postcards, and a poster, but the web site doesn't give
ordering information, and my e-mail to the museum (written in English) has
received no answer.
If anyone out there could help me with this, I would deeply appreciate it.
Fabio Marco Dalla Vecchia (from Italy, in case you couldn't guess that) has
also expressed an interest in this, so be sure to tell him how to order the
catalog, too (see his e-mail address above).  And please don't buy out their
entire stock before letting Fabio and me know how to get these items.
A thousand thanks, Ralph>>

Actually, I asked for info about the divulgative publications on the
Liaoning fossils just because the University of Ancona, Italy, is
organizing the exhibit "Feathered Dinosaurs of China" and I am helping in
the scientifical project.
The exhibit should be hosted from March to May 2002 in a beautiful old
building in the port of the town.
 I did not know if a catalogue on such an exhibit could have a chance to be
sold in the international market and is worth to be published in English
(American English, probably). Of course, if a lot of books on that subject
have been published, it is senseless to publish another. 
So, I am interested on the catalogue of the German exhibit to see how the
matter has been managed in that book and in that exhibit (hoping they wrote
it in English: I do not understand German very well).

All the best
