Approximately 2000 copies of this latest edition have been distributed to countries with which PAX is associated, including Nepal, India, Tanzania, Egypt, Pakistan and Brazil, as well as to institutions, groups and individuals in other parts of the world. The handbook has been translated and printed in Turkish and Portuguese. Spanish and French translations are underway.
