Everyone has seen that. Well, maybe not all the morons who post here, 
but everyone familiar with his Lectures on Physics has seen it.

When I spent eight months in Chile in 1985–1986 most of my wife's books 
in her mother's house were in Spanish -- which I could read if 
necessary, but not usually for pleasure*. Feynman's Lectures on Physics 
were among the few books in English that she had, and I spent a lot of 
the eight months reading and re-reading them.

*The only book in Spanish I can remember reading all the way through 
was Manuel Puig's El beso de la mujer araña. Richard Hertz should 
approve of that choice, as Puig was Argentinian. I learned about how 
"vos" is used. (It isn't used in Chile, but it's prominent in 
Argentinian and Uruguayan speech.)
