use Google to translate.

It's a shame there was never a book about the band in English. There were a couple of books in Dutch, one focusing on George's songwriting, and the other a biography of Barry. Oh, and there was a book on an American fan's experience as a fan (self-published IIRC). But nothing comprehensive on the band covering their interesting history.

I've translated some of the Dutch articles about George the last few days. There are Dutch TV tributes, too, but they either have no captions, or machine translations to Dutch that mangle people's names and some Dutch words I do recognize so badly that I'm not going to type the mangled captions into Google Translate to see if I can make sense of them.
