I'm sorry that I'm slow responding but I've been rather busy recently on 
some important projects and, as well, I've feel a need to consider this 
question carefully.  On the one hand, I am honored (and flattered) by 
your request.  On the other, there is a certain reluctance to offer a 
too-blanket permission, thus relinquishing control and authorship.

I can't remember if this title has previously been translated to Spanish 
(many of my titles have) but, if so, I'm sure that it's out of print in 
any language at present.  In any case, being out of print, the 
copyrights have reverted entirely to me. 

I have no strong objections to adaptations but I would be interested to 
see an example of what you propose.  Unfortunately, my Spanish is poor 
and long disused (/hablo un poco pero no muy bien y no muy dispacio)./  
Of course, if you were writing in Thai, I might muddle through a bit 
better.  As for the German, Japanese, Chinese and Russian translations 
... I can't read more than a few words of the German.

In any case, I guess I'll say go ahead but I'll expect credit as 
appropriate and just consider it a matter of /karma/.  After all, my 
intention in writing the books (money aside) was to teach because to 
impart wisdom and learning is always to earn ... I'm trying to think of 
the right word in English -- in Thai, I would say "/tahm boon/", meaning 
"to create (earn) merit" but I can't think of an exact equivalent in 
English or Spanish.

/Se la vie!

/In any case, I would like to see what you come up with.
