How much could it cost to get such a book translated to English?

This has been done before for XSI with (IMHO) excellent results. Though
you would not find it here in the US or in English, I particularly
enjoyed this book I picked up in Japan called "XSI Power Creator Guide"
or something like that. It was written around version 2.x, among the
people who contributed to it were Michael Arias (a whole beginners
chapter on mental ray shader writing!), Yoichiro Kadoguchi, Alain
Laferierre, and Akiko Saito of Studio4c (one of the clearest and most
articulate real-world case studies of XSI used in a traditional
animation pipeline).
Like I said before, real world case studies offer excellent validation
of abstract theory presented in previous chapters. Similar to how the
folks at Soft Japan have even made scene files available for download,
it's still quite applicable and good (if you read japanese, though I
barely can!) quite a few years later.
