Original French: _Foux de langage_
English (published Athlone in UK, c. 1990): _Lunatic lovers of
language: Imaginary languages and their inventors.
I don't know of any other books about conlangs that cover more than
IALs. For IALs, there's Andrew Large's _The artificial language
movement_. Then there are books on Tolkien's lgs (though up to date
stuff is only on the web).
More extensive bibliographies can be provided by Rick Harrison and
Claudio Gnoli who both have a (to me, extraordinary) talent for
collating bibliographies and that sort of thing.
