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. --And.
