Current Talk '12 I / DS included in a new French coffee-table book on images of Vampires

I was surprised this evening when browsing through a new French coffee-table book on images of Vampires across the centuries and countries to find a two page spread on Dark Shadows (there was no French translation of the title; it was given in English). Apart from stating that the series only ran from 1968 to 1971 and that the Ross books stopped in '72 (my memory is that they ran a bit later than that), it was a fairly accurate and well written entry. It included two Marilyn Ross book covers plus a full page image of Barnabas baring his fangs in 1967.
I don't know whether the series was ever shown in France. It was fascinating that so much space in the book was given to it. This was mainly a picture book so two pages (which included perhaps a half page of text) was quite a bit. Forever Knight and some other US shows of earlier periods did not seem to be mentioned, although True Blood and the Twitlight series got plenty of coverage.
