What is your book about? Is it about the strategy in FRC, or is it a game collection, or something else? I think an English version could sell well if you were able to get it into book stores or get advertising on a popular website like chesscafe.com or something like that. But I don't know how all of that works. If I saw it in the chess section at Barnes and Noble, I would buy it (unless it is very expensive or something). There are so many boring cookie cutter beginner chess books at Barnes and Noble. It would definitely stand out and catch my eye there since it is not "the same old thing". Maybe I'll buy a German copy and learn German :)
