Dear Frank,
So far, only 6 volumes of Dumerilia have been published, all in a single volume except volume 4 in three issues, and with a long interruption between 2001 and 2015. They can all be ordered through the webpage you mentioned. Volume 7 will be published in 2017. Starting in 2017, we will provide the possibility for yearly subsciiptions to the journal.
If you have difficulties ordering through the website, may I suggest that you contact Thierry Frétey at
<fretey.thierry at wanadoo.fr<mailto:fretey.thierry at wanadoo.fr>>

Thank you for your interest in Dumerilia.

Best wishes,

Alain

Hi Alain,
Would you let us know where we can order the latest numbers of Dumerilia? The Dumerilia webpage offers them up to no. 6. http://dumerilia.wifeo.com/boutique-tag-dumerilia.html Is there another place where we can find the later issues?
Cheers
